I found this on the QCA site below:

"

The majority of pupils are expected to work at: * levels 1-3 in key stage 1 and attain level 2 at the end of the key stage * levels 2-5 in key stage 2 and attain level 4 at the end of the key stage * levels 3-7 in key stage 3 and attain level 5/6 at the end of the key stage."

It appears to be deliberately confusing when you try to find out more.

Firstly there are Key Stages. These Key Stages apply to different age groups. I.e.

Key Stage 1 = Ages 5 - 7

Key Stage 2 = Ages 7-11

Key Stage 3 = Ages 11-14

Key Stage 4 = Ages 14-16

Then there are the levels. The levels are

level 1-3 = Key Stage 1 (i.e. Ages 5-7)

level 2-5 = Key Stage 2 (i.e. Ages 7-11)

level 3-7 = Key Stage 3 (i.e. Ages 11-14)

All of the above taken from http://curriculum.qca.org.uk/ and page 7 of the National Curriculum document on English from the same site.

Below just my opinion

However, I have also read that a student achieving level 7 is equivalent to a GCSE pass at grade C.

I have left out the average expected attainment level for each Key Stage. These are level 2 at age 7, level 4 at age 11 and level 5/6 at age 14. These were the only indicators provided. Looking at the above it appears that level 3 is appropriate to both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 3. And given that level 7 is equivalent to a GCSE pass then it is not clear what would be in Key Stage 4.

There are sub levels a - c in each level 2a, 2b etc. This is to help assess progress for example if a child moves from a 2c to a 2a in a year they are obviously improving despite being the same level. Basically children are expected to move half a level a year in Key stages 1 and 2 (Primary School), these are the expected levels; Year 1 - 1c Year 2 - 1a Year 3 - 2b Year 4 - 3c Year 5 - 3a Year 6 - 4b
