.. just wondering. I know it's very rare across the country. Our school entered 5 pupils and none of them got it

My daughter also went for level 6 but she got a 5A very proud of her but none of the kids in ours got a 6 either.

None here.

Movingtimes · 16/07/2013 23:27

Three in ours.

chickensaladagain · 16/07/2013 23:28

1 at ours

8 sat it

peachpudding · 16/07/2013 23:31

is that the same as last year?

Movingtimes · 16/07/2013 23:34

Nationally it was 3% last year.

LadyPeterWimsey · 16/07/2013 23:35

DD did. About 3 or 4 others sat it, but I have no idea whether anyone else got level 6.

frazzledmamma · 16/07/2013 23:47

Well done those who did. I think it must be incredibly tough.

Movingtimes - wow! what kind of school??

  1. (58 children in the year, don't know how many tried L6.)

Get rid of it, more to primary school than SATS, the secondaries don't like or want it and a five is a good result! Poor children, too many being made to take it who aren't ready, hence the very low success rate.

It was NOT 3% last year - teacher assessment was 3%, but the actual test was less than 0.5% nationally.

Our school entered the top third (about 35 pupils) for the L6 papers (reading, spelling and grammar, maths). They had extra sessions at lunchtime, after school and instead of assembly, PE and drama.

About 10 got L6 maths and none got L6 reading or S&G.

I did voice the opinion that the L6 papers were supposed to be for those pupils already consistently working above L5 but it fell on deaf ears.

We now have clever L5 children leaving primary school feeling like they have failed - it was awful to see some crying on the day their reports came home.

Shootingstar79 · 17/07/2013 09:27

2 L 6 reading, the same 2 children achieved L 6 for SPaG. 7 L6s in maths.
We were pleased but I don't think it will be as high next year.

Shootingstar79 · 17/07/2013 09:28

Instead of PE! That's harsh! Ours did level 6 work in maths and literacy but no extra sessions at all.

Fizzypop001 · 17/07/2013 09:32

6 percent of children at my sons school got level 6 in maths though

No-12% got l6 for maths but nobody got it for reading/spag.

Xihha · 17/07/2013 11:06

2 at ds's school, 15 got it for maths, dont know how many they put in for it though.

mumofthemonsters808 · 17/07/2013 11:16

DD did not get it, but 2 in her year did. Fourteen children got level 6 in maths.

DeWe · 17/07/2013 12:08

15% got L6 at maths this year at the dc's school. It was lower in literacy but stilll quite a few (big school)

BlueChampagne · 17/07/2013 13:18

Don't know but staff did think it was a tough one.

Marmitelover55 · 17/07/2013 13:35

7% achieved L6 reading at my dd1's school - not dd1 though, she got a L5 and wasn't entered for the L6.

hiphapnap · 17/07/2013 13:41

here is a link to the national results for the KS2 2012 by subject and level attained. It looks very rare to get a level 6 in the reading test 0-1% max
