Objective To investigate the effect of gestational age, particularly late preterm birth (34-36 weeks gestation) and early term birth (37-38 weeks gestation) on school performance at age 7 years.Design Population-based prospective UK Millennium Cohort Study, consisting of linked educational data on 6031 children.Methods School performance was investigated using the statutory Key Stage 1 (KS1) teacher assessments performed in the third school year in England. The primary outcome was not achieving the expected level (>= level 2) of general performance in all three key subjects (reading, writing and mathematics). Other outcomes investigated subject-specific performance and high academic performance (level 3).Results 18% of full-term children performed below the expected KS1 general level, and risk of poor performance increased with prematurity: compared to children born at full-term, there was a statistically significant increased risk of poor performance in those born very preterm (
