In 2014/15, 84% of Hackney pupils achieved level 4 or above at KS2 in reading tests, writing teacher assessment and mathematics tests. This was equal to the London average (84%), and slightly above the England average (80%) in the same year. Compared to Hackney’s statistical peers, Hackney pupils performed roughly in the middle (Figure 13).

Achievement of level 4 or above in reading tests, writing teacher assessment and mathematics tests in Hackney has risen from 76% in 2012 to 84% in 2014, and, while this upward trend in results has also been seen across London and England (Figure 14), Hackney now outperforms the national average.
