Does anyone know what percentage of children have achieved (historically) level 6 at key stage 2 in Maths?

I think my daugter's school has three classes, so about 90 children and about 5 are sitting the level 6 test for maths and none or literacy. From what my dd tells me they only expect one or two to the level 6.

Last year was the first year - since a gap of about ten years - that there has been a Level 6 test. Teachers could assess children as level 6 but there wasn't an externally assessed test. (To put it in context, in the grammar school I work in around 2 out of 120 children come up teacher assessed as l6 in reading and 2 in maths per year - up to 2012, that is)...

I think last year the percentages were tiny (less than 0.1% or something) because most schools weren't really geared up for it etc.

A lot more are taking them this year as it seems level 5 isn't good enough any more. Schools, children and parents are all a lot more geared up for them.

No, but interested to know as my DD I one of 6 in her year sitting this next week and 3 of them are also sitting the L6 English. My DD has told me that the pass mark for L6 maths was 28 in 2011 and 32 last year.
