2021 white paper: effects of educational disruption on primary school attainment in summer 2021
An analysis of attainment in reading, maths and grammar, punctuation and spelling in mainstream state schools in England. This study looks at the impact on performance of deprivation levels, location, subject and year group.
Key findings include:
- Reading attainment close to prior cohort for Years 2 to 6 by the end of the academic year
- In maths and GPS the gaps in attainment for most year groups were smaller at the end of the summer term
- Years 1 and 2 showed the largest drops in attainment
- The gap in average attainment between those eligible for Pupil Premium and their peers continued to grow
- Had the National Tests been held this year it is likely only reading would have had a similar number of pupils reaching the expected standard
