Headline: Sats results show slight improvement
Description: Primary school Sats results showed a slight improvement this year, the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) has revealed.

The latest figures show a one per cent improvement in the number of 11-year-olds attaining the required standard in English and maths.

Seventy-five per cent of 11-year-olds achieved the expected level in maths, 79 per cent did so in English while science results remained unchanged at 86 per cent.

Key Stage One results were even higher, with 85 per cent of pupils hitting the required reading level and 91 per cent passing their maths tests.

Schools minister Jacqui Smith believes the results are a vindication of the success of national Sats tests.

"The level of achievement for boys and girls in English and maths has never been higher," she said.

"It shows that this government's unrelenting focus on the basics is paying off. I warmly congratulate children and teachers for their hard work in achieving these results."

Teachers have also welcomed today's results, with Steve Sinnott, head of the National Union of Teachers (NUT), suggesting that they show that teachers have been performing well, in spite of criticism about falling standards in schools.

"Despite the government’s crude mechanism for measuring primary children’s achievement the underlying message is that primary teachers have sustained and secured further improvements in pupil performance," he said.

However, despite the positive results, Sats performance is still falling short of government targets.

The DfES is hoping that 85 per cent of Key Stage One and Two English and maths candidates will reach the required level by 2006.
