The closest available published data, the proportion of eligible pupils classified as non-mobile (classified as those who did not move school in the 12 months preceding the census date) at the time of the Key Stage 2 assessment, is published annually on the Performance Tables website at:

In 2015/2016, 92% of pupils in maintained schools were non-mobile at the time of the Key Stage 2 assessment.

The information required to answer this question is not held and compiling it would be a very complex task which would incur disproportionate cost.
