Key Stage 2 attainment 24/25
The KS2 attainment data released today highlights the amazing work school staff in our region have done to support children. 61% of North East pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths in 2024/25. This is the joint second highest in the country, a position the North East has consistently achieved since 2015/16. These results have been achieved against the backdrop of higher levels of long-term disadvantage, higher rates of absence, poor access to mental health services, and crumbling school buildings.
