Where to find Year 6 SATS results by school

[PeterFromPeterborough]

Just looking for a page on the gov.uk website where I can download SATS results by schools. Not national averages, but actual number of children who achieved which result by school. There are usually good website which I can download this sort of thing so I can do my own data manipulation but I've been Googling for hours and feeling rather stupid not finding anything.

Please help!

I think the latest data would be from 2019 due to Covid. Although tests were completed this year, the agreement was that data wouldn't be published.

I'll take 2019 data if you know where I can find it?

It's usually on individual school websites under something like 'Performance Data' or 'Results'.

Or here...

there's a download data option at the bottom school performance gov.uk pages.

however, as PP says the most recent data is from 2019, so unless you need the data for research purposes, I would suggest it's not that useful. Actually I'd say that SATS data tells you more about a school's intake and how much they hothouse Year 6s than anything else.

@extrapineappleonmypizza @redskydelight - thank you for that image. I've made a download and perhaps the school system has changed since I was at school, but this chart isn't quite working for my purposes.

Back in my day you got:
Basic Paper: 0-2 Fail
Basic Paper: Level 3
Intermediate Paper: Level 4 or 5
Advanced Paper: Level 6

The definitions I am getting from the chart is: PTRWMHIGHH Percentage of pupils with high prior attainment achieving a high score in reading and maths and working at greater depth in writing.

For this metric I see values as high as 70% and average of averages of around 28%. Both numbers seem shockingly high as at my secondary school nobody had achieved a level 6 (0%).

QUESTIONS
Is the level system no longer?
If so, what is the substitute named metric of pupils achieving the highest level of the optional advanced paper?
End goal: Which primary schools are teaching the advanced papers and have greater than zero children who pass them?

I don't expect you to answer the end goal question, I will try to spreadsheet my way to that answer. The level system from when I was at school seems the easiest way to define this, but this isn't a configurable metric on that download. Assumption: to define expected scores as: Level 3 or 4 and high scores as: level 5 or 6, does not give the granularity I am looking for. If folks know of a useful metric for the end goal that'd be amazing!

All children sit the same paper at the end of KS2. There is no such thing as a higher paper now. The tests are for the full range of abilities.
The raw scores of the tests give a scaled score between 80 and 120.
From this, you get WTS, EXS, GDS. There are other bands for children who are working below the KS2 programme of study.
The scaled scores also help to measure progress from EYFS and KS1.

This explains quite well. Levels are no longer used, and there is no higher level paper. All you are likely to get for a specific school in 2019 is likely to be average scaled scores - between 80-120, with 100 being the "expected" standard- and percentage achieving at a higher standard across the board (those who scored 110 plus in maths and reading and also assessed at working at greater depth in writing) .

Individual school websites may have more detail but not to the granularity I think you are looking for.

That information just isn't available in the public domain.

The best you will get is children working at expected level and children working at higher level. And that's within the expected range for children in Year 6.

The new curriculum (well it's not that new, it's been in place for about 8 years) specifies objectives for each year group and schools provide breadth for able students rather than teaching them the next thing.

So, for example, a super able mathematician is not going to be graded at average Year 9 level in Year 6 (as was possible in the old system - I think this was the old Level 6??)) because they simply won't have been taught enough curriculum.
