Estimated National Statistics for 2020-2021

Insight collects statutory assessments from over 4,000 primary schools in England.

Using the results, we can estimate the national statistics. This provides an early indication of the national picture before the official statistics are released.

Estimates are compared against the previous year's official national statistics published by the DfE.
