My dd is year 8 and her current levels for maths, English and science are the same as your dds. Tbh I don't take much notice of the other subjects at this stage.

My dd seems to be doing about average from what I can make out so perhaps that means your dd is doing better than average?

It depends what you deem as good and what she got in her year 6 SATS. Take English for example: a level 5 is equivalent to a GCSE grade E. It's usually expected that students progress a few sub levels, or a whole level each year. So atm your DD is on track for a grade B at GCSE. Whether you think that's good or not is up to you.
Level 1 and Level 2 = Grade U (Grade U is actually counted as Grade 0)
Level 3 = Grade G
Level 4 = Grade F
Level 5 = Grade E
Level 6 = Grade D
Level 7 = Grade C
Level 8 = Grade B
Exceptional Performance = Grade A and Grade A (Grade A is counted as Level 9 and Grade A as Level 10)

My dd is in Year 7 & it's double Dutch to me. Apparently she's very academic but I have no idea what her current levels are. I was told some at parents evening back in Jan but can't remember them.
