Level 3 papers in ks1 sats

[begood]

Just interested to know what proportion of a class normally sit level 3 papers in the year 2 SATS?

Probably depends on the school. It will probably be more than the % who got level 3 but less than the % who got level 3 + level 2a

Nationally approx a third of kids get a level 3.

Um, it's not a third - something like 17% in writing up to 25% in reading (desparately googles for "official" stats).

At DC's school they let children sit the Level 3 papers that they think can cope with them. This varies A LOT from year to year.

2010 KS1 results here www.education.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/SFR/s000947/index.shtml
