What is average/above average?

Isn't a level 3 expected so 3a/4c

No, 4b is average. 4a is better, 5c better still, then 5b and 5a is brilliant. A more able child achieves 5b, usually.

The average pupils should read level 4.

only one number out and dd on started year 7 in Sept

Level 5s aren't automatically differentiated in year 6 - so unless you ask you will only get told that your child got a level 5.

4b is what is expected of an average child in year 6.
