Primary students improve in tests

Bristol primary students have improved in their attainment of English and maths, but the city remains close to the foot of league tables for England.

Provisional results from Key Stage Two Standard Assessment Tests (SAT) for 11-year-olds have been published.

They show an improvement of 4% for maths and 2% for English compared with 2007, but science has slipped by 1%.

The authority has improved one position overall in provisional tables making it fourth from the bottom for England.
