OK, I've had a really good look at them and it's really surprising at the spectrum of ability for this age group. The minimum requirement is that all yr3 students get Band 2 results and I think that's a really low expectation - the Band 2 level is so basic and I would have expected that they would be aiming to have a minimum of Band 3. And also interesting is that in the table of results which show which answers they got right, and the ones they either didn't attempt or got wrong they also have a % figure of how many children in the state got the particular question correct and for the Writing section not one single child got the same 14 questions right. So I assume that those questions may have been a fair bit harder and possibly based on stuff they haven't learnt yet, otherwise there would at least be a few who would have gotten those questions right.
