Key Stage 3 (commonly abbreviated as KS3) is the legal term for the three years of schooling in maintained schools in England and Wales normally known as Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9, when pupils are aged between 11 and 14.
In year eight, the government expects pupils to be a level 5a at English, Maths and Science. The exceptional pupils should be at a level 6b for English, a 7 at science and a 7/8 for maths. Hope this helps.
The term Key Stage 3 or KS3 is a legal term in the British educational system that describes school grades Year 7, Year 8, and Year 9 for students in the age range of 11 to 14.
The government expects pupils in year nine to be attaining about a level 6b so really in year eight, you should just be hitting the level six boundary.It's nice to know the government has faith in us.

The government expects you to be attaining a level 6a or b by the end of year nine, so really you should be a level 6c. However, it is possible to attain higher. I'm a level 8 and I'm in year 8 and some people reach level 8s in year 7.
level 4
In most schools in England, a level 5a or above would be high for a year 7, with a 6a or above being 'exceptional performance' for a year 7. Usually, if you have achieved a level 5a or above, you would be place in the top set for year 8.I know, I have been working at low averages for about a year, but at the end of year 7 I achieved a level 6c. In my school, we started our new academic three weeks earlier than the start of the summer holidays. In year 8 top set maths set (my set), the average levels were typically a level 5a or 6c, with the highest level in the set being a 7c and the lowest level was a 5b.The previous answer was true in a way, but to tell you the truth, expectations in KS3 have lowered in the past few years; in 2004/5, the expected level for the end of year 7 was a level 6a/7c - and wasn't even an academy! Also, the expected GCSE grade for the end of year 10 was an A*, and if you had achieved any lower than a B, you would of had to retake the papers and re - study until you pass, otherwise you had to take a special course when you finally had to start in college. ..
