<p>The percentage of pupils who achieved the expected standard (a scaled score of
100 or above) in reading at Key Stage 2 (KS2) in 2016 is 66%. This is published as
part of the “National curriculum assessments at KS2 in England, 2016 (interim)”[1]
statistical first release (SFR).</p><p>Children sitting KS2 tests in 2016 were the
first to be taught and assessed under the new National Curriculum, tests and teacher
assessments. The expected standard has also been raised. The Head of Profession for
Statistics has made clear that due to these changes the expected standard this year
is not comparable with the expected standard used in previous years’ statistics; it
would be incorrect and misleading to make direct comparisons showing changes over
time.</p><p>The expected standard under the previous system was the percentage of
pupils achieving level 4 or above. Performance against this standard for previous
years is published in table 1 of the “National curriculum assessments: key stage 2,
2015 (revised)”[2] SFR.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/534573/SFR30_2016_text.pdf"
