(2) In paragraph (1), the “coasting criteria” are—
(a)in relation to the school years 2013/2014 and 2014/2015, that—
(i)the attainment measure for the school is below 85%; and
(ii)each progress measure for the school, for the school year listed in column 1 of table 1, is below the percentage for the respective subject listed in the corresponding entry in column 2, 3 or 4 of the table();
Table 1
Column 1 – School year | Column 2 – Percentage for reading | Column 3 – Percentage for writing | Column 4 – Percentage for mathematics |
---|
2013/2014 | 94% | 96% | 93% |
2014/2015 | 94% | 97% | 93% |
(b)in relation to the school year 2015/2016 and subsequent school years, that—

“primary school accountability measure” means the progress calculation methodology set out in the document entitled “Primary progress measures: How the primary progress measures are calculated” with the reference “DFE-00253-2016” and published by the Department for Education on 19th October 2016();
“progress measure” means—
