Academic Achievement
Outcomes for Years 6 and 2 in 2019/20 and 2020/21
No outcomes were recorded for 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19. This is in line with DfE policy for 2020 and 2021.
In the last two years, the Secretary of State for Education announced that the national curriculum assessments would not take place in 2019/20 and 2020/21 academic years due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The following assessments were cancelled:
- end of key stage 1 and key stage 2 assessments
- phonics screening check
- multiplication tables check
- science sampling tests
- all statutory trialling
The department recognises this creates a gap in KS1 and KS2 attainment data for Year 2 and Year 6 pupils in 2020 and 2021 and future progress measures that rely on that data will also be missing.
As there were no formal assessments in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 academic years, schools should not be asked to provide assessment data to Ofsted or local authorities. The last formal assessments were recorded in 2019 and are detailed below.
