Appendix 3: Raw differences in attainment in Reading and
Mathematics at the end of Year 5

Significant differences in cognitive attainments related to various child, family and home learning
environment (HLE) characteristics have been reported at entry to pre-school (age 3 plus), later at
entry to primary school (rising 5 years), at the end of Year 1 (age 6) and at the end of Year 2
(age 7). These characteristics were also predictors (but were less strongly associated) of
different aspects of the social/behavioural development of the children. In this Appendix raw
differences in cognitive attainments at the end of Year 5 for different groups of children (i.e.
gender groups, ethnicity groups, etc.) are summarized. The findings at the end of Year 5 are
broadly in line with the earlier reported findings (see Sammons et al. 2004a; 2004b). Table A.3.7
shows means and standard deviations by pre-school experience (yes/no). Further details of
differences in attainment levels for different pupil groups are found in the full report (Sammons et
al., 2007).
