Only 58 per cent of English native speakers met the expected overall standard in the three areas combined at the end of primary school in the last academic year - two per cent lower than that of pupils whose first language is not English.
Figures from the Department for Education revealed that Indian pupils were the highest achieving ethnic group, with 74 per cent meeting the expected overall standard in reading, maths and writing.Meanwhile, only 65 per cent of white British pupils met expected standards in the same categories.
"So they would have ensured their children were following what the school was asking them to do, but also feeding in help themselves." Some eight per cent of children from immigrant families achieved a higher standard overall for reading, writing and maths, compared with seven per cent of English pupils.The DfE said: "Although we are seeing children make encouraging progress, we recognise there is still more to do particularly for the most disadvantaged and in writing and maths.
