The performance of children in England in tests at the end of primary school has edged upwards, the government has announced.
More pupils than ever have achieved the literacy and maths scores needed for secondary school, according to figures from the Department for Education
Four out of five pupils got good grades in all the tests, says the DfE.
However, Schools Minister Nick Gibb said schools in some council areas had performed poorly.
May tests
The results of this year's tests, taken in May by all 11-year-old state school pupils, show a one percentage point rise in those meeting the standard in mathematics (to 87%) and two percentage points in writing (to 87%).
There was a four percentage point rise in scores in the grammar, punctuation and spelling test (to 80%), while attainment in reading was unchanged on the year before, with 89% meeting the expected standard.
The government says 80% of pupils achieved the required "Level Four" standard or above in all subjects, compared with 78% in 2014 and 62% in 2009.
