Key priorities for 2015-2016 1 Executive summary Our vision for Bristol as a Learning City is that all children and young people have access to a good education and are able to acquire the skills they need to join Bristol’s world class workforce. Our collective pledge for education in Bristol is: • Education achievement is in the top 25% of LAs • No Bristol school below floor standard • Disadvantaged learners make better progress than national • Every young person to leave education with a place in learning, training or a job with training The evidence from this Education Performance Report is that Bristol is making good progress to achieving this vision. However, it is also clear that challenges remain particularly in ensuring that outcomes for those learners facing disadvantage or other additional challenges improve further. Early Years • Overall Ofsted outcomes evidence a steady improvement in the quality of provision for Early Years schools and settings with 100% of Nursery Schools and 100% of Independent Schools being judged as Good or Outstanding. • Attainment at the end of the EYFS improved by 6ppts in 2015 with 64% of Bristol children achieving a Good Level of Development at the End of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Although 2ppts behind the national average, this is 3ppts ahead of the other core cities. • Attainment improved across all areas of learning with the greatest progress in Mathematics and Literacy. However, Writing continues to be the weakest area of learning, particularly for boys, and this will be a priority for 2015-2016. • Progress in Communication and Language matches the national average with 76% of children achieving a Good Level of Development, reflecting the impact of targeted professional development for schools and settings, alongside support for families delivered through Bristol Children’s Centres. • The gap between disadvantaged learners and their peers continues to narrow across the range of historically under-achieving groups, but this masks significant gender differences particularly for children from Black Caribbean and Black Other backgrounds Primary • The percentage of schools judged by Ofsted to be good and outstanding has increased over the past 5 years and Bristol is now 4th in the group of 11 Statistical Neighbours and is above the England average. • Outcomes for Children in Care at KS1 evidence a positive improvement trend and level 2 in reading is 1ppt above all Bristol pupils. At KS2 the outcomes have been more cohort specific, but the trend for the past 3 years has been positive, although the gap with all Bristol pupils is wider. • Outcomes in phonics check have risen annually and in 2015 they are in line with national • At KS1 outcomes have improved across all measures over the past five years. Attainment against national is closest in reading, where it is in line at Level 2 and 2B+ and 2 ppts below at Level 3. • Overall results at Key Stage 2 show an increase in attainment in all areas except reading at L4+ where it has remained static for three years at 86% and reading L5+ where is has dropped by 1ppt. However, Bristol is below the national average in all areas with the exception of level 6 where it is line or above. • The improvement trend for FSM pupils at KS1 has not been as consistent as national and dips in 2015 have moved Bristol below national in reading, writing and maths. At KS2 the gap has narrowed between the 2 groups in all areas, showing a consistent and positive trend over the last 4 years • Overall there is an improving trend by the end of KS2, for all ethnic minority groups with the exception of the Any Other Black Background Group (56% L4+ combined). Results for Caribbean and Pakistani pupils have seen a significant increase in 2015. Results for Somali pupils in reading, writing and maths remains low at 65% Secondary • The performance of secondary schools in Bristol is recognised by Ofsted as being good or outstanding in the overwhelming majority of cases. • There is a slight decline in the provisional 5 A* to C GCSE including English and maths results for the first time in over a decade, falling 1.8ppts to 55.2%. The result remains above the national figure, which also declined. For the second year in succession, the overall attainment of students in Bristol is above the England average. This result means that Bristol is ranked third out of twelve statistically similar local authorities and fourth out of eight English core cities. • The proportion of students in Bristol attaining the English Baccalaureate suite of qualifications is rising and is 20.5% this year. This represents a closing of the gap with national figure of 22.5%. • Disadvantaged students do not perform as well as their peers. The gap between disadvantaged students and others has widened in 2015. • The performance of Black Caribbean and Somali students remains lower than their peers. Special Provision • The performance of both special schools and pupil referral units in Bristol is recognised by Ofsted as being good or outstanding in 100% of settings. • The performance of children and young people attending specialist provision is measured particularly in terms of their progress from their starting points. Given the range of additional needs and types of specialist provision, it is not possible to summarise these achievements with common statistics. The Local Authority School Improvement Officer will support school leaders to evaluate performance against national attainment measures, where appropriate, and national progression matrices. 2 Ofsted profile 1 Secondary schools Source Ofsted The proportion of secondary schools rated good or outstanding in Bristol has been increasing consistently over the last five years. Currently 90% of secondary schools which have a judgement are either good or outstanding. 2 Primary schools Source Ofsted The proportion of primary schools which are good or outstanding in Bristol is currently 86%. Over the last three years very nearly one quarter of primary schools have been consistently rated by Ofsted as outstanding. This success underpins the growing confidence of parents in Bristol schools. 3 Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units The performance of Bristol Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs) has also been improving steadily over time. During 2014-15 academic year, the proportion of good or outstanding schools rose to 100%. This is above the national average of 92% and the South West average of 88% for Special Schools and above the national average of 86% and the South West average of 87% for PRUs. 4 Comparison to Statistical Neighbours – Secondary Schools Source Ofsted Compared to other statistically similar local authorities Bristol has the second highest proportion of good or outstanding Secondary schools and is well above the England average. 5 Comparison to Statistical Neighbours – Primary Schools Source Ofsted Compared to other statistically similar local authorities Bristol has the fourth highest proportion of good or outstanding Primary schools and is above the England average. 3 Children in Care performance 1 Early Years 1.1 Good level of development 2013 2014 2015 Bristol Nat. Attaining Good Level of Development (GLD) x 50% 37.5% 63.5% 66.2% Source: local data • There were 14 pupils within the qualifying cohort. 7 of these were SEND and 2 of these had full statements. 2 Key stage 1 2.1 Cohort size 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Number eligible 10 20 10 15 11 Source: SFR 30 -2011, SFR 32 -2012, SFR 50 - 2013, SFR 49 - 2014, local data 2015 • There were eleven pupils in Year 2 at the end of academic year 2014 2015 which is a little below the average cohort size for the HOPE virtual school for Children in Care over the last five years. 2.2 Reading, writing and mathematics Bristol Level 2 or better 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 all pupils Reading x 39% 73% 64% 91% 90% Writing x 33% 55% 57% 73% 86% Mathematics x 44% 82% 71% 73% 92% Source: SFR 30 -2011, SFR 32 -2012, SFR 50 - 2013, SFR 49 - 2014, local data 2015 • Due to the complex nature and needs of all children in care, performance data is not the only aspect upon which achievement is measured within the HOPE and year on year comparison is difficult due to the very variable composition and small pupil cohort size. • The vast majority of pupils in the HOPE Virtual School have attained at least Level 2 (the minimum age related level) in their reading by the end of Year 2. This is a significant improvement on the 2014 performance, up by 27ppts and a dramatic improvement on 2012 when only 39% of pupils attained this standard • The performance of pupils in writing has also stepped up, improving by 16ppts to 73%. This is a step change in performance compared to 2012 when only one third of pupils attained this standard • In mathematics the performance of pupils in 2013 and 2014 was already relatively high and this has continued with 73% of pupils attaining level 2 or better • There was a gap of less than 10ppts between Bristol and national Children in Care performance in each aspect in 2014 and due to the significant raising of standards in 2015, it is hoped that outcomes will meet or exceed national performance.

This article reviews and evaluates the ‘Progress 8’ secondary school accountability system for state-funded schools. We assess the statistical strengths and weaknesses of Progress 8 relating to: choice of pupil outcome attainment measure; potential adjustments for pupil input attainment and background characteristics; decisions around which schools and pupils are excluded from the measure; presentation of Progress 8 to users, choice of statistical model, and calculation of statistical uncertainty; and issues related to the volatility of school performance over time, including scope for reporting multi-year averages.

  • Wave 1 Impact Assessments
    Title: Bristol Free School Author: Department for Education (DfE) Annex C: Section 9 Academies Act 2010 impact assessment Executive Summary This paper considers the potential implications of opening a new Free School in North Bristol for the local schools system. Key messages are: The proposed new school addresses a current mismatch between demand and supply There is clear parental demand for a new state secondary school whilst at the same time there is surplus capacity in existing schools. This suggests that some parents do not want what these schools (which have relatively low GCSE performance) are offering. So the system is clearly not working for some parents – it is allocatively inefficient, in economic terms, as the right mix of education is not being provided to meet demand. Impact of the new school on existing schools will depend on where it takes its pupils from Analysis of individual schools suggests three tentative conclusions. First, the greater it’s intake from the independent sector, the lower the impact on existing state schools (but the higher the deadweight costs). Second, over-subscribed schools will see minimal impact as they will continue to fill their places regardless. Third, the biggest impact may be on under- subscribed poorly-performing schools which lose pupils (and potentially non-FSM pupils). Risk to performance and short term viability of some schools if they lose too many pupils If some under-subscribed poorly-performing schools lose too many pupils, through direct or indirect effects, their performance may be affected (depending on which types of pupils they lose). Losing too many pupils may affect their viability, but risks to longer term viability could be mitigated by the projected rise in demand for overall places in the area.
