[HL879]
§ Lord Williams of MostynIndustrial action by teachers severely affected Key Stage 2 testing arrangements in Wales in 1994 and to a lesser extent, in 1995. As a result, no reliable figures can be compiled for 1994. Participation was higher in 1995 and national figures for Wales were published for all subjects apart from Welsh. The information requested is shown in the following tables. These figures do not attempt to define an average level of pupil performance. There would be no correspondence between any such average and the National Curriculum level descriptions, which are designed to be rounded descriptions of performance. Average subject ages have not been calculated as a disproportionate cost would be incurred.
The Key Stage 2 results figures relate to children assessed at Key Stage 2: most, but not all, of these children will have become 11 years old during the school year.
