While writing the last post, R in school: the AHT, I thought it might be useful to have a place where attainment eight (A8) averages are collected in one place for others to use.

In an ideal world, the DfE would release these figures in .csv-form instead of burying them in a .pdf document.

Summary plot

Here is a summary plot of the trends observed in the data.
