Statutory outcome reports

These three reports summarise a cohort’s statutory results: the EYFS profile, and the KS1 and KS2 assessments. They read the results entered or imported on the statutory pages (see Statutory assessment in Sonar) and use Sonar’s older report screen.

Choose the year group the cohort is in now, not the one they were in when assessed: last year’s reception class is now Year 1. If some pupils have left, include leavers. The Statutory Dashboard has its own rules about which pupils count, so its percentages for the same cohort can differ from these reports’.

End of Reception Outcomes

End of Reception Outcomes gives a cohort’s EYFS profile results goal by goal, with the share reaching a good level of development (GLD). EYFS leads and governors use it once the profile is complete, and year 1 teachers use it at transition.

Options

The only option is Summary View, in Display Options, which starts ticked. There is no academic year or subject list, because the report shows the children’s profile results.

Read the report

With Summary View ticked, each row is a group of children, such as All Pupils, Boys, Girls, Disadvantaged and Pupil Premium. Total gives the group’s size as a share of all the children. Each goal column gives the percentage and number of the group at the expected level. The last column, % Good Level of Development (GLD), gives the share reaching GLD.

With Summary View unticked, each row is a child, and each goal shows the code from the profile:

Code	Meaning
2	Expected
1	Emerging
A	Unable to assess, or exemption applies

That is Sonar’s key. The Standards and Testing Agency (STA) allows A only for a child with an individual exemption on religious or philosophical grounds: see The codes.

After the goals come Total (/34) and Good Level of Development (GLD), which shows Yes or No for each child.

GLD means the expected level (2) in the 12 early learning goals (ELGs) for the prime areas, literacy and mathematics. The other five ELGs do not count. Total (/34) is a different measure. It adds 2 for each expected goal and 1 for each emerging goal across all 17. A child can reach GLD with a total below 34.

In the demo school, the current year 1 has 28 children and only four goals have results. In Listening, Attention and Understanding, 18 of the 24 children with a result (75.0%) reached the expected level. That is 11 of 13 boys and 7 of 11 girls. With most goals empty, every child shows No for GLD, and the % Good Level of Development (GLD) column is blank.

Summary View: a row for each group of children.

With Summary View unticked, each row is a child.

Points to watch

Total and the goal columns use different bases. Total is the group’s share of all the children: boys are 57.1%, 16 of 28. Each goal column is a share of the group’s children with a result in that goal: 11 of 13 boys, not 11 of 16.

A child needs a result in every GLD goal before they can show Yes, so untick Summary View and look for blank cells.

Groups are small. In the demo, Disadvantaged is 3 children, so each child is worth 33.3 percentage points.

Good practice

Pass on more than these figures when children move into year 1. Ofsted’s 2024 review ‘Strong foundations in the first years of school’ found that data alone tells a teacher little about a child’s next steps. Share what each child still needs to learn, especially where a goal is emerging.

End of Key Stage 1 Outcomes

End of Key Stage 1 Outcomes shows how a cohort’s KS1 teacher assessments and test scaled scores are spread in each subject. KS1 assessment has been optional since the 2023 to 2024 academic year, so the report only has data for cohorts your school chose to assess.

Options

Option	What it does	Default
Academic year list	The year whose results are shown. Choose the year the cohort was in year 2.	The current academic year
Subject list, such as 4 Subjects	Reading, Writing TA / GPS Test, Mathematics and Science. With reading, writing and maths chosen, a Reading, Writing & Maths row is added.	All four
Display Options	Scaled Scores shows the test scaled score columns. Summary View adds rows for groups of pupils. Names lets you list the pupils behind a figure.	Scaled Scores ticked

Writing TA / GPS Test pairs writing teacher assessment with the grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS) test.

Read the report

The table has a Teacher Assessment block and a Test Scaled Scores block. Grey cells do not apply to that subject: science teacher assessment, for example, has only Other, Has Not Met and Working At.

Column	What it counts
Other	Pupils with no result, or with a code such as A (absent)
Below	Pupils assessed with the engagement model or P scales
Pre-Key Stage	Pupils working at the pre-key stage standards
Has Not Met	In science, pupils who have not met the expected standard
Working Towards	Working towards the expected standard (WTS)
Working At	Working at the expected standard (EXS)
Greater Depth	Working at greater depth (GDS)
<100, 100+, 110+	Pupils with a scaled score below 100, of 100 or more, and of 110 or more
Average	The average scaled score

The demo school’s current year 3 were in year 2 in the 2025 to 2026 academic year. In Reading, 9 of the 30 pupils (30.0%) were Working At and 5 (16.7%) Greater Depth, so 14 (46.7%) reached the expected standard or above. Another 9 (30.0%) are under Other. All 30 are under Other for test scaled scores, because no KS1 test results are recorded.

Last year's year 2, now in year 3. No KS1 test scores are recorded.

Points to watch

Every percentage is a share of all the pupils selected, including those under Other, and the cells are not cumulative. Add Working At and Greater Depth for the share at the expected standard or above.

The notes under the table are the KS2 ones. The note that reading and maths teacher assessment percentages are not shown applies to KS2 only.

End of Key Stage 2 Outcomes

End of Key Stage 2 Outcomes does the same for KS2 and adds the combined expected and higher standards. Leaders and governors use it once results come back in July.

Options

Option	What it does	Default
Academic year list	The year whose results are shown	The current academic year
Subject list, such as 4 Subjects	Reading, Writing TA / GPS Test, Mathematics and Science	All four
Display Options	Summary View adds rows for groups of pupils. Names lets you list the pupils behind a figure.	Both unticked

Read the report

The blocks and columns match the KS1 report. Reading and maths teacher assessment is only used for pupils working below the standard of the tests. Those rows show a count under Other, not a percentage.

The notes under the table define the combined measures, shown in the Expected Standard and Higher Standard boxes:

• expected standard: a scaled score of 100 or more in reading and maths, and EXS or GDS in writing
• higher standard: a scaled score of 110 or more in reading and maths, and GDS in writing

An asterisk (*) under Other means missing data, or that the scaled score conversion has not been released. Scaled scores run from 80 to 120: see Understanding scaled scores at key stage 2 on GOV.UK.

The notes under the table define each measure.

Last year’s KS2 results belong to pupils who have now left. To see the demo school’s 2025 to 2026 results, choose Year 7, include leavers and choose 2025-2026. Year 6 with 2025-2026 shows this year’s year 6 instead, who had no KS2 results then, so every pupil appears under Other.

The results come from End of Key Stage Two, entered by hand or imported: see Key stage 2.

Points to watch

Every percentage is a share of all the pupils selected, including those under Other.

The Statutory Dashboard may show KS2 results for a year while this report puts every pupil under Other. If so, check the year group, the leavers setting and the academic year. If all three are right, contact Juniper support.
