How different areas performed

Success and struggle seem to be more entrenched than ever in the two local authorities at either end of this year's primary school tables.

A league based on pupils' performances in their Sats tests is headed by Richmond upon Thames - home to royal parks and English rugby.

Bringing up the rear is the inner London borough of Hackney.

Both have held those places for four years - though this year Hackney improved a bit and Richmond slipped.

The table below shows LAs ranked on their aggregate scores.

The second column of figures is the average points score.
