Muslim and Jewish primary schools are the top performing groups in England in tests for seven-year-olds, according to figures released by the Department for Education.

Their scores were above the average for English, maths and science in Sats at the end of key stage one.

While individual school results in this age group are not published, the government has issued general data.

Nationally, the percentages of children in English schools reaching the expected standard were 76 per cent for reading; 68 per cent, writing; 75 per cent, maths; and 83 per cent in science.
