Did you have a dip in your reading results last year?

Warwickshire's results for reading in Key Stage 2 this year are above national, with 74% at the expected level compared with 73% nationally. However, we know that many schools were disappointed with their reading results in the 2019 SATs tests, and in comparison to the previous year this year's results represent a 4% drop in Warwickshire and a 3% drop nationally.

Whether you had a dip in results, or not, you may wish to read this interesting blog post from Herts For Learning, before abandoning any new approaches that you may have introduced in your school.

It gives a two-part analysis of the last KS2 SATs reading test, compared with the test in previous years. It is worth noting that the points raised in the blog may not apply to every school however we think it's definitely worth a read.
