This Statistical First Release (SFR) updates the information on Key Stage 3 assessments tests contained in the SFR issued on the 8 September 2005 National Curriculum Assessments of 14 year olds in England, 2005 (Provisional)(SFR32/2005). It provides for the first time information on 2005 Key Stage 2 - Key Stage 3 value added measures. The information in this SFR is based on the data which underpin the secondary (KS3) school Achievement and Attainment Tables.

National Curriculum tests measure pupils' attainment against the levels set by the National Curriculum. These figures will show the proportion of pupils achieving the expected level in each of the core subjects. The data is also used to produce the figures in SFR and are used to underpin the Key Stage 3 Achievement and Attainment Tables.
