Abstract
The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is overseen by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). It provides participating countries internationally comparable data on the performance and attitudes of 9 to 10 (year 5) and 13 to 14 year-olds (year 9) in maths and science as well as comparisons of the curriculum and the teaching of these subjects in primary and secondary schools. Fifty-seven countries and seven benchmarking entities participated in TIMSS 20151. England has participated in TIMSS since the study was first carried out in 1995 and in each subsequent four-yearly cycle, meaning that 2015 represents the study’s sixth cycle. The study therefore provides valuable trends in England’s absolute and relative performance over a twenty-year period. In England, testing was conducted with pupils in years 5 and 9 in May and June 2015, with a sample of over 8,800 pupils across 290 schools. England’s year 5 cohort started school in 2009 and sat the new Key Stage 2 tests in the summer of 2016. The year 9 cohort started school in 2005 and will take the new GCSEs in summer 2017, having started secondary school in 2012. This TIMSS National Report for England focuses on comparisons of our pupils’ performance and their experiences of maths and science teaching compared to: high-performing and rapidly improving countries; other English-speaking countries; and similar countries in terms of context and geography. The TIMSS International Report 2015 offers comparisons across all participating countries.
