YEAR ON YEAR COMPARISON

The Tables show how the KS2 results of pupils in each mainstream school have changed over the past four years. A bar chart shows the aggregate of the three percentages of pupils achieving Level 4 or above in the English, mathematics and science tests in each of the years 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.

The aggregate is calculated as follows:

No of pupils achieving L4+ in English	+	No of pupils achieving L4+ in maths	+	No of pupils achieving L4+ in science	x 100	=	Aggregate (to the nearest whole number)
------------------------------------------		------------------------------------------		------------------------------------------
No of eligible pupils in English		No of eligible pupils in maths		No of eligible pupils in science

What the year on year comparison tells you

From the bar charts, you can see the history of a school's KS2 results, and whether they have stayed at the same level over time. Because each year group is made up of different pupils, with different prior attainment and other characteristics, results may fluctuate from year to year for reasons to do with the pupils rather than the school. Small fluctuations from year to year are unlikely to be significant, particularly if the school's year group is small.
