The article examines the standardization of primary education as one of the development
trends of the British school at the present moment in the context of improving its efficiency and
quality. It analyses the positive results of the standard-based reforms (modernization of primary
education content, improvement of younger students’ outcomes, expansion of school autonomy,
professional growth of a primary school teacher) as well as negative ones (increased load for
students and teachers, inadequate assessment system).
