The average grade per A Level subject score is 222. The average point score per student is an excellent 998. Every student achieved at least 2 A Level passes which will enable them to go onto either Higher or Further Education or their chosen career. 59% of grades were at A*/A/B and 17 of our students achieved at least two A* grades. Special congratulations to Natalie Nickells and Jonty Page who achieved at least 4A* and Will Crookall, Sam Yale, Megan Taylor and Sam Elliot who all achieved at least 3 A*s. Students’ Destinations University 62% Employment 4% Apprenticeship 3% Further Education 2% Gap Year with University in 201711% Gap Year/applying for University next Year 18% GCSE GCSE Results We had a very strong set of GCSE results, which, using the new criteria, could be our best ever. Our progress 8 score was a very healthy +0.43, while 79% of students reached the A*-C Threshold in both Maths and English. An incredible 43 students (15%) achieved 10A*/A, and a third of the year group achieved 5A*/A; 32% of grades were A* and A. 76% of students achieved 5A*-C including English and Maths. 33% of students achieved the Ebacc. Special congratulations should go to the three students who attained 10A* grades – Kate Atkinson, Alice Curzon and Rosie Seabrook; and also to Jasmine Butcher, Dylan Fotherby and Erin Hamilton who managed 9A* grades and to Alice Brown, Andras Dervenkar, James Liddell and Euan McKenzie, who all achieved 8A* grades. Year 11 2016-17 Year 10 reports in 2015/16 highlighted concerns about attainment and progress in that cohort. Progress 8 estimates for the cohort are ‘flat’, while the projected English and Maths Threshold figure is 46%. This group has been identified as being in need of lots of intervention to ensure they achieve to their full potential. Additional resources will therefore need to be focused on this group in 2016/17 in Year 11. Although results are excellent overall, there are four elements of the results which will need to be a focus for our continual school improvement work. These are as follows: Pupil Premium/Non-Pupil Premium gap - +0.08 vs +0.51 (gap is -0.43) Boys vs Girls gap - +0.35 vs +0.50 (gap is -0.15) SEN vs Non-SEN gap - +0.11 vs +0.49 (gap is -0.38) Ebacc – the proportion of students achieving the Ebacc (33%) seems low for a school with our results, and could be questioned in an inspection. (It may be the case that levels of 2 October 2016 entry for Ebacc subjects (including Languages) will be a limiting factor in Ofsted Inspection judgments in the future.) A2 Support for Exams Underlying the excellent results is a great deal of hard work by our students, but I would also wish to recognise the hours and hours of support that staff give to those students. The evidence of success in the exams shows that these had a positive impact. In 2015/16 that support included:- 95% of students in Year 11 attended day study trips (organised by Miss Gilmour and Ms Hargadon); 18 students in Year 11 were mentored by 15 staff (organised by Mrs Laird); 11 students were mentored by 15 business people in the community through the COMPACT Scheme (also organised by Mrs Laird); We ran over 50 revision sessions each week for Year 11 in the weeks leading up to the exams; There was a Revision Morning for Year 11 in February and a revision pack; There was constant one to one support from staff at break and lunchtimes plus staff ran revision days in the holidays for GCSE, AS and A2 exams; In 2015/16 we also paid for one to three tuition work in English and Maths targeting borderline C/D students being supported for 30-45 minutes a week in both years 10 and 11; Exam preparation time continued through the exam period. For all students we ran sessions on the morning of exams, or the afternoon before, wherever possible, to do final revision, as well as teaching all subjects right up to the exams. Final revision breakfasts (8 to 9 am) were made more formal this year. Ms Hargadon ran an evening session for parents of Year 11 students on revision skills. We ran an ‘Aim to Achieve’ programme for borderline year 11 (co-ordinated by Mrs Laird) and ‘Freddoes’ scheme for more able but underachieving Year 11s. The students in the lower school continue to benefit from the support of their peers through the very successful buddy mentoring programme, the more specialist On-Track mentors and the Aunts and Uncles. These programmes help students to feel more confident, to raise their resilience and to take increasing responsibility for their school life. Thank you to our Exams Officer, Ms Boath (who retired at the end of August) and her assistant Ms Hambleton, for their excellent work during the exam season and in the summer holidays to ensure the exams and results days went smoothly. Thank you also to Ms Tyndale-Hardy, Mr Tait, Mr Haughan and Mr Howlett for the time they gave in the holidays to support Year 11 and Year 13 students in making their Sixth Form and university choices. A3 Performance of Sub-groups (i.e. Looked After Children, Travellers, SEN students, Free School Meals students, gender groups) (Chris Moran is doing this) These will be in the appendix for each subject and I will go through these at our meeting. They will also be in the SEF and appendix when it is updated. A4 Year Trails We continue with the Year Trail process as our main way of evaluating the quality of teaching and learning. Last term we trailed Year 8 and you should have recently received a copy of the report which was positive. The Sixth Form trail starts after half-term. 3 October 2016 A5 SEF SEF to be updated by October half term. A6 School Self Evaluation Post-16 self reviews are due to take place. All staff will continue to be formally observed this year by their Head of Faculty and LT link person, plus many informal observations. We continue to not grade lessons for teaching, just for behaviour. All Heads of Faculty and subject are currently meeting with me and the LT link person in their Curriculum Review. All Heads of Faculty complete the termly self review for governors. All reports for Years 10, 11, 12 and 13 will continue to be carefully analysed for outcomes and to offer further support. Mr Moran supports Heads of Year and Heads of Faculty in tracking the progress of their students and monitoring the progress of the more vulnerable groups. The results of the lesson observations from last year are as follows: No. Outstanding Good Sound Unsatisfactory Plus no. of NQTs 2015/16 247 192 (77%) 54 1(0.4%) 0 5 NQTs (22%) 2014/15 259 188 (73%) 60 11(4%) 0 6.5 NQTs Behaviour (23%) only 2013/14 250 105 (42%) 133 10 (4%) 2 (0.8%) 5 NQTs (53%) A7 Targeting Underachieving GCSE Students Miss Gilmour will continue to work with year teams to identify underachieving GCSE students. Strategies will be reviewed and resources targeted to maximise benefit for those students needing most support. Disadvantaged students will be particularly highlighted. A8 Curriculum Reviews Curriculum review reports have been submitted by departments. Based on those reviews meetings are scheduled with Heads of Faculty September to October. B MENTORING AND ACHIEVEMENT SCHEMES AND STRATEGIES We have continued to do some good work on this during 2015/2016 and at the start of the current year. We now have a variety of schemes to both support students’ individual personal needs and to help them achieve more highly. Mrs Laird has spent considerable time co-ordinating some of these schemes. The various strategies include:- Buddy Mentoring. In 2015-16 we had over 75 trained mentors. Buddy mentors offer an invaluable service to our younger students, who have a variety of needs that they need support with.

We have used the latest data available at the time of publication. Much more data is available from national and local sources than is captured here, but it is hoped that the profile will be a useful starting point for discussion, where local knowledge and experience can be used to flesh out and illuminate the information presented here. The profile can be used to help look at some fundamental questions e.g. Does the age profile of the population match or differ from the national profile? . Is there evidence of the ageing profile of the county in all the wards in the Division or just some? . How diverse is the community in terms of ethnicity? . What is the impact of deprivation on families and residents? . Does there seem to be a link between deprivation and school performance? . What is the breakdown of employment sectors in the area? . Is it a relatively healthy area compared to the rest of the district or county? . What sort of crimes are prevalent in the community?
