Sats results stay below pre-pandemic levels.
Results show 73% of pupils met the expected standards in reading, down from 75% in 2022.
The scoring of this year's reading paper suggests it was harder than last year's. Just 24 marks were needed to meet the expected level, compared with 29 in 2022. Victoria Williams's daughter Georgina was one of the pupils who was unable to finish the Year 6 Sats reading paper. The recruitment manager, from Princes Risborough, in Buckinghamshire, said Georgina had told her the paper had been "awful" and that she had sat crying to herself during the test.
Schools Minister Nick Gibb said it was "encouraging to see attainment levels improving in some key subjects" after the pandemic had disrupted pupils' education. Tiffnie Harris, of the Association of School and College Leaders, said schools were "straining every sinew to improve results" and asked the government to address "the national crisis caused by teacher shortages and inadequate funding".
