In maths, pupils needed 61 out of 110 to reach the expected standard. Last year, pupils needed 57.

In Spag, pupils needed 38 out of 70 to reach the expected standard. Last year, pupils needed 36.

Pupils’ raw scores are converted to a scaled score between 80 and 120, in which 100 represents the expected standard.

Scaled scores are used to enable accurate comparisons of performance over time.

The pass marks are revealed in conversion tables which show how each raw score corresponds to a scaled score.
