$tskgspa1.docx Rutland County Council Education Performance Board Report on Education Performance Summer 2016 Date of report: November 2016 1 $tskgspa1.docx INTRODUCTION This report was prepared at the request of the Rutland Education Performance Board. The Board’s role is “to ensure that effective improvement has been achieved to meet agreed service and education performance standards, performance targets, and operational practice”. In this document we report on standards achieved, including comparisons with previous years (where this is possible) indicating where change has taken place. We also report on OFSTED inspection judgements of schools and the analyses conducted by the School Improvement Service. This report should be read in conjunction with the document, “RCC School Performance Summary v1 270916”. This report relates to the Council’s strategic objective of “Creating a brighter future for all” and the Education Strategic Plan 2015-18. Colour coding in the report means: RED: area of concern - moderate to high risk; AMBER: area of concern - low risk; GREEN: securely good performance. 2 $tskgspa1.docx 1 BACKGROUND AND MAIN CONSIDERATIONS 1.1 Availability of Data and Impact on Reporting Data for KS4/5 are unvalidated at the point of writing this report. The validated data when finally published are more reliable and detailed. These may require amendments to be made to the conclusions of this report. We shall review the results when they are validated - in line with the calendar below. In the meantime, we include headlines for each of the key stages. The new assessment arrangements for 2016 at KS 1 & 2 mean that comparisons with previous years are not possible. Some early comparisons with national averages and other authorities may help to identify patterns. 1.2 Reports and Calendar of Meetings The calendar for reports to the Education Performance Board is governed by the timetable for the release of validated data from national organisations. For this reason, the pattern of EPB meetings will be as follows: Autumn 2016: initial analysis (headlines) of available, unvalidated 2016 results in KS4 and KS5; more detailed analysis of KS1 & KS2. Spring 2017: full analysis of 2016 validated data (early years and KS4 & KS5). Summer 2017: full analysis of all 2016 results and intelligence, identifying further issues for the Education Strategic Plan (ESP). 2 ANALYSIS OF EARLY YEARS PERFORMANCE 2.1 Background This is the fourth year of operation of the revised Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (2016). All schools have now received an external EYFS moderation visit and the data are consequently more reliable than in previous years. 2.2 Operation of the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile 2016 The Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP) was completed for a total of 431 children (244 boys and 187 girls): 109 children from six maintained primary schools; 293 children from 11 academies; 26 children from one independent school; Three children from a special school. 3 $tskgspa1.docx Of these, 68 children are from services families. 2.3 Headlines of Performance 2.3.1 Good level of development (GLD) The first 12 Early Learning Goals are combined to create the measure of ‘Good level of development’. 72.1% of children achieved GLD. A decrease 2.7% is seen compared with 2015. This was slightly higher for Local Authority maintained schools (75%) than for academy schools (71%). 21 (4.9%) have been identified as having English as an additional language of whom 12 (57.1%) have achieved GLD. 24 (5.6%) have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities of whom 5 (21.7%) have achieved a GLD, one child has an Education, Health and Care Plan, two children have a statement. 19 (4.4%) are disadvantaged, of whom 7 (36.8%) achieved GLD. 39 (9%) are from Ethnic Minority Groups of whom 28 (71.8%) achieved GLD. 182 (42.2%) were summer born, of whom 111 (61%) achieved GLD. 2.3.2 Average Points Score (See tables 1 and 2, below.) The average points score for all 17 Early Learning Goals (ELGs) in 2016 is 35.6. This is down slightly on the previous years (36.8 in 2015 and 37.1 in 2014) but above the national comparator for LAs (34.5). There has been a decrease in ‘expected’ or ‘exceeding’ levels across almost all of the 17 ELGs (with the exception of Maths (numbers)). This suggests that the fall in the average point score is not driven by a large decrease in one or two areas but rather a smaller decrease across all areas. The table below shows the comparison between 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 for children achieving ‘expected’ or ‘exceeding’ outcomes across the 17 Early Learning Goals. 4 $tskgspa1.docx Area of Learning 2015-16 Number and aspect of Early Learning Goal 2013 2014 2015 2016 Year-on- (ELG) year change.

One of the seven areas of learning showed an increase – Maths, up by 3 percentage points. The other six areas of learning showed a decrease from last year, the largest of which was for ‘Understanding of the world’ – down 8 percentage points. 5 $tskgspa1.docx The next table shows the average point score for groups of children according to different characteristics.
