Exam Results Wards All Contr Committee Children and Young People Select Committee Item No. 6 Title Standards and Achievement - Exam results Ward s All Contributors Executive Director for Children and Young People Class Date: 9th October 2013 All results contained within this report are provisional. National provisional data sets are expected as follows:- Key Stage 2: Final school level results will be published in December 2013. GCSE: Final school results will be published in January 2014. 1. Early Years Foundation Stage Nursery and Reception 2. Key Stage 1 Years 1 and 2 3. Key Stage 2 Years 3 to 6 4. Key Stage 4 Years 10 and 11 5. Key Stage 5 Years 12 and 13 The report is structured to include a brief overview of the headlines from each relevant key stage supported by data. Further data tables are provided which show trends alongside provisional 2011 outcomes. 1. Early Years Foundation Stage – Nursery and Reception 1.1 The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is not a statutory phase of education until children reach the age of 5. The Reception year is the first year in which school becomes statutory. Children in Reception classes are aged 4 and 5 years old. The large majority of children started Reception class in September, regardless of when they became 5. 1.2 The EYFS curriculum is structured differently to the more formal curriculum that pupils will experience as they get older. 1.3 There is a new framework for EYFS, which took effect on 1 September 2012. This reduces the number of early learning goals from 69 to 17, sharpens the focus on the main areas of learning and simplifies assessment when a child reaches five. It also places a responsibility on practitioners to provide a summary assessment of children as part of the two year-old check. 1.4 There are now seven areas of learning: Three prime areas – communication and language; physical development and personal social and emotional development; and four specific areas – literacy; mathematics, understanding the world and expressive arts and design. 1 1.5 These changes mean that we can’t compare this year’s EYFS outcomes directly with previous years. The new ‘Good Level of Development’ measure is achieved if a child attains or exceeds the Early Learning Goals in 12 areas – all the ‘Prime Areas’ and the four ‘Specific Areas’ relating to literacy and mathematics. 1.6 68% percent of children across Lewisham gained a ‘Good Level of Development’. However, individual school results for the percentage of children gaining a ‘Good Level of Development’ range from 38.7% to 93.8%. We clearly need to focus on this variability given that some schools with high levels of children eligible for Pupil Premium achieved very highly e.g. Grinling Gibbons, Downderry and Launcelot. 1.7 For those children eligible for Pupil Premium, there are gaps across all EYFS measures. The gaps are at their widest with reading, writing and numbers, which all count towards the ‘Good Level of Development’ measure. Boys have also scored lower than girls in every measure, as have those whose birthday fell in the Summer Term. The challenge for all our Y1 teachers is to accelerate progress, including for these underperforming groups. Early Years Foundation Stage: Good Level of Development 2013 2013 All Pupil Premium Lewisham 67.9% 60.2% London tba (Oct) tba (Oct) Inner London tba (Oct) tba (Oct) National tba (Oct) tba (Oct) 2. Key Stage 1 – Years 1 and 2 2.1 Pupils in Key Stage 1 are assessed at the end of Year 2 in reading, writing and mathematics. These pupils will be aged 7 when the assessments are made. The assessments are undertaken by class teachers and can either take the form of a test or can be based upon teacher assessment of a pupil’s abilities. The national expectation is that a child will achieve Level 2b by the age of 7. Achieving at Level 3 indicates that a child has exceeded what is expected. These assessments are made within the school but 25% are moderated by the local authority every year on a rolling cycle to ensure greater consistency. 2.2 Last year, for the first time, a phonics test in Year 1 was introduced. It comprised a list of 40 words and non-words, which a child read one-to-one with a teacher. Last year Lewisham pupils were below both national and London averages and schools worked hard to improve this measure to 75.2% this year. For those pupils eligible for Pupil Premium, the improvement was up by 20.5% to 66.8% 2 Year 1 Phonics Screening Check Percentage meeting the required standard of Phonic decoding 2012 2013 2012 Pupil 2013 Pupil All Premium All Premium Lewisham 60.1% 46.3% 75.2% 66.8% London 60.0% Not published Tba (Oct) Tba (Oct) Inner London 60.0% Not published Tba (Oct) Tba (Oct) National 58.0% Not published Tba (Oct) Tba (Oct) 2.3 Last year there were improvements across the board in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Key Stage 1 and we reached national averages in Level 3 in all three areas. This year, there are even bigger gains and we await national figures in October to see if we have finally closed the gap with national across all measures for all pupils. 2.4 For children eligible for Pupil Premium, there have been some notable improvements in Level 2b+ in reading (up by 9.4%), writing (up by 10.1%) and maths (up by 6.7%). The challenge still remains to close the gaps, as, in all measures, only Level 2b+ in writing matches national outcomes for all children for 2012. Obviously this is a key focus for us all across the borough. 2013 2010 2011 2012 Provisional National National Pupil Pupil Lewisham National Lewisham Lewisham Lewisham (London) (London) Premium Premium 85% 87% L2+ 80% 85% 83% 86% 78.1% 88.7% 83.1% (85%) (87%) 74% 76% Reading L2b+ 67% 72% 70% 75% 63.5% 80.6% 72.9% (73%) (76%) 26% 27% L3 22% 26% 24% 27% 16.4% 31.1% 18.3% (24%) (26%) 81% 83% L2+ 75% 81% 78% 81% 71.7% 85.4% 79.6% (81%) (83%) 61% 64% Writing L2b+ 52% 60% 57% 63% 48.7% 69.4% 58.8% (61%) (64%) 13% 14% L3 11% 12% 13% 15% 7.6% 20.4% 10.7% (12%) (13%) 90% 91% L2+ 87% 89% 87% 90% 83.7% 92.2% 88.6% (89%) (90%) 74% 79% Maths L2b+ 68% 73% 69% 75% 63.3% 78.3% 70.1% (73%) (76%) 20% 22% L3 18% 20% 21% 22% 13.1% 26.2% 16.2% (20%) (21%) 3 3. Key Stage 2 – Years 3 to 6 3.1 Pupils in Key Stage 2 are assessed at the end of Year 6 in reading, writing and mathematics. These pupils will be aged 11 when the assessments are made. Up until this year, all the assessments were made at the school in the form of a written test in each subject. This year, the assessments in reading and maths were in the form of a test taken in “test conditions” within the school but externally marked. The writing test was based on teacher assessment and marked within the school. The LA moderated a sample of these. The national expectation is that a child will achieve Level 4 by the age of 11. However, during the summer, the Government indicated that this expectation should rise to a “good” Level 4. This is defined as a Level 4b+ in reading and mathematics and a Level 4+ in writing. 3.2 There have been significant changes this year at Key Stage 2, with Reading, Writing and Maths combined as the key measure at Key Stage 2 instead of English and Maths combined. Overall, in this new measure, schools across the borough have done extremely well. Outcomes have increased across the borough from 81.1% to 82.6%. (The national average for 2013 has gone up by 1% to 76% and the London average remains the same at 77%). Within this new measure, the outcomes for those pupils eligible for Pupil Premium have increased from 72.4% to 75.5%. This gap between pupils eligible for Pupil Premium and all pupils remains too high and will need to continue to be a key focus for all. 3.3 As indicated above, an additional measure has been added nationally, which is the percentage of pupils who gained Level 4b+ in reading and maths and L4+ in writing. Outcomes for this measure is at 73.2%, up from 71.5% last year. And, for those pupils eligible for Pupil Premium, there is a 10% gap with all pupils across the borough. Clearly, the lower performance in this measure is something schools will be looking at carefully. 3.4 There is likewise a new measure for Level 5+ in reading, writing and maths combined, where outcomes have also increased across the borough from 24% to 26.8%. (The national average for 2013 has increased by 1% to 21% and the London average has increased by 1% to 22%.) This is an important measure as it secures high achievement at GCSE and A level for all pupils. A key focus for this year has been the percentage of pupils eligible for Pupil Premium who achieved Level 5 across all subjects and this figure has increased from 13.4% to 16.2%, which although an improvement, remains below the national figure for all pupils and so must remain a priority for schools 3.5 The KS2 results for each Local Authority and nationally were published on 19 September.

  • Lewisham Determined Admissions Criteria 2022-2023
    Appendix A Lewisham’s determined admissions criteria for nursery schools and nursery classes in community primary schools (children starting nursery during the academic year 2022/23) Where there is over-subscription, places will be offered to: 1. A looked after child’ or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order. A looked after child is a child who is a) in the care of a local authority, or b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989). Details must be supplied by the allocated social worker or foster carer. * it is expected that a revised School Admissions Code, expected early in 2021, will revise the definition of a looked after child to include children who have been adopted from care from outside of England. 2 In exceptional circumstances there is discretion to admit vulnerable children, as proposed by Lewisham’s Children Centre Criteria for Priority or Excluded (POE), on the grounds of their or their family’s severe medical or social need for that particular school and who would not otherwise qualify for admission. The application must be supported by a letter from a hospital consultant, social worker or similar professional, setting out the reasons why the nursery is the only one able to meet the child’s needs, before an admission decision is made. The admission decision will be made by the headteacher who may consult with the Executive Director for Children and Young People.
