Data notes

DCSF ceased collecting teacher assessment data for non-core subjects at Key Stage 3 after the 2007/08 academic year, as a part of the continued work on evaluating requirements for schools to collect and provide data to DCSF. As this data is no longer collected by the Department it is no longer possible to publish the related statistics on the DCSF website.

Wales, 2009:
63.6% of all pupils achieved level 5 or above for languages in the national curriculum Key Stage 3 Teacher Assessments, 55.0% for boys and 72.6% for girls. The comparative overall figure in 2008 was 62%, 58% in 2007, 56% in 2006, 53% in 2005 and 52% in 2004.
