DfE performance tables are published today. This year, they are more detailed than ever, covering everything from amount spent on resources to absence rates.
Here’s an overview of learning in 2012-13 for Moortown Primary compared to other primary schools, based on 2013 Key Stage 2 results.
In the tables, there are many, potentially confusing, ways to compare schools and their 2013 results. You can compare progress, percentage of pupils at expected level, how effective a school is in closing the attainment gap caused by poverty… You can compare test results against teacher assessment, how well children with low attainment perform compared to those with high attainment…
Here are some headline figures:
- proportion reaching Level 4 or more in reading, writing and maths combined is 93% – almost 20 percentage points higher than national (75%) or Leeds (74%) figures
- proportion reaching Level 4B (a mid Level 4, which the current government describes as a level indicating a pupil is ‘secondary ready’) or more in reading, writing and maths combined is 89% – significantly higher than national (63%) and 14th place amongst all 251 Leeds primaries
- proportions making expected progress is also very high: 100% in reading and maths, and 96% in writing – about 10 percentage points higher than for England as a whole, or Leeds overall
- the average level for our pupils was a 5C, which matches quite a few schools in Leeds, but only two schools had a higher level (5B)
- 32% of pupils attained a Level 5 in reading, writing and maths combined – easily putting us in the top 10% of Leeds schools for this measure
Well done to the 2012-13 Year 6 class, to Ms Hazell, Mrs Raseta and to all the previous teachers who have supported the class.
