This Statistical First Release (SFR) provides revised 2010 Key Stage 2 National Curriculum Assessment results for pupils in schools in England. The revised figures are based on data checked by schools prior to publication in the Primary School (Key Stage 2) Performance Tables. The SFR updates the provisional figures released in August in SFR 23/2010.

Achievements of eligible pupils in National Curriculum teacher assessments at Key Stage 2 (KS2) and Key Stage 3 (KS3). This typically represents 11 year olds at KS2 and 14 year olds at KS3. The figures reported are based on teacher assessments. The teacher assessments measure pupils' attainment against the levels set by the National Curriculum in the whole subject over the academic year. They measure the extent to which pupils have the specific knowledge, skills and understanding which the National Curriculum expects pupils to have mastered by the end of the Key Stage. The National Curriculum standards have been designed so that most pupils will progress by approximately one level every two years. This means that by the end of KS2, pupils are expected to reach Level 4. When presenting analyses that refer to expected level at Key Stage 3, the Department's practice is to measure against those pupils achieving Level 5 or above.

Key Stage (KS) 2 is the stage of the National Curriculum between ages 8 and 11 years. This indicator relates to tests taken by 11 year olds at the end of KS2. Minority ethnic groups measured for the purposes of this indicator include any ethnic group where there are over 30 pupils from that group in any particular cohort. Pupils attainment is assessed in relation to the National Curriculum and pupils are awarded levels on the National Curriculum scale to reflect their attainment. Good performance is typified by higher percentages accompanied by a narrowing of the attainment gap between minority ethnic pupils and all pupils.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Background to the PACE study The PACE (Primary Assessment, Curriculum and Experience) project aimed to study the impact on English primary schools of the introduction, following the 1988 Education Reform Act, of the National Curriculum and its associated assessment procedures. Questionnaires and interviews with heads and infant teachers in forty-eight schools in eight varied areas, provided background data for a closer focus on nine schools. Children as well as teachers in primary school classes were interviewed. These randomly selected pupils formed a cohort who have taken part in the subsequent years of the study. New assessment procedures were also observed and analysed as they were introduced. The project consisted of three phases: phase 1 (SN:3486) was carried out in 1990-1992, phase 2 (SN:3470) in 1993-1994 and phase 3(SN:3969) in 1995-1996. Pupils of the original cohort, continued to be observed and interviewed, as did their teachers into year 6 (phase 3). In addition, teachers and heads in the wider sample of schools have again been interviewed; in this phase both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 teachers provide material on the degree and kind of change experienced in primary schools during a period of unprecedented innovation. Phase One of the PACE Study (PACE 1) This dataset consists of six files: PACE Advance Questionnaire to Teachers and Headteachers 1990 (TQ01/1TQUEST) PACE Headteacher Interviews 1990 (2HT INT 90) PACE Reception and Year 1 Teacher Interviews 1990 (2T INT 90) PACE Advance Questionnaire to Teachers and Headteachers 1992 (TQ06/6TQUEST) PACE Headteacher Interviews 1992 (6HT INT 92) PACE Year 1 and Year 2 Teacher Interviews 1992 (6T INT 92) The aims of the survey are: To analyse the responses of heads, teachers and children in infant schools to the National Curriculum and its assessment procedures To examine the impact of the National Curriculum and its assessment procedures on the curriculum and pedagogy of the infant school To evaluate the assessment procedures and the materials in use and to examine their effect on children To develop an innovative `federated research' methodology, whereby the large-scale core project will provide a focus and context for smaller-scale studies, including teachers' action research To provide a basis for a projected continuing study of the National Curriculum at junior school level.
