Northway School Data Report

1. Northway School Data Report November 2013

2. Pupil Premium • Every school receives an amount of money, pupil premium, for those children who are on free school meals and who nationally don’t achieve as highly as their peers. So the money is to help to “bridge the gap”. • However the next two slides show that over the last two years we so bridged the gap that FSM now out score NFSM!! • Needs to be a statement on the website about how we are using the pupil premium money.

4. Free School Meals 2012-2013

5. Gender • I looked at the performance of boys and girls over the past two years and again there is no great consistency in the figures which tends to suggest we do not have a gender bias. • 2 years ago boys outscored girls by 0.11 of a P level. Last year girls outscored boys by 0.05 of a P level (virtually the same).

6. Boys/girls 2011-2012 • Boys 43 Girls 15

7. Boys/girls 2012-2013 • Boys 48 Girls 16

8. Progression by year group • I looked in Literacy and Numeracy at the rate of progress year on year. • This is definitely an area to work on as it shows that as the children go further up the school their rate of progress decreases where we would be looking for it to increase. The issue is particularly marked from Y3- Y4 and Y4 – Y5, and then the rate improves from Y5 – Y6

9. Average progression by year group

10. Improvement by subject • Looking over the school as a whole this next slide is very encouraging as it shows that this year all 18 subjects and subject strands improved by over an average of 1 P level. • Please refer to your code to see which number corresponds to which subject and subject strand.

11. Average P Level Improvement by subject

12. Comparison of subject improvement over last two years • The good news is that all subjects are improving at over 1 P level per year throughout the school. • However this improvement as we can see is mainly through the non-core subjects. • The core subject strands are down towards the bottom of the improvement rates.

15. Average progress by class • The following slide shows the average points progress made by the children in each class. Anything over 18 points is more than 1 P Level progress. • Once more it highlights the relative lack progress made in those classes teaching Y4 and Y5 children compared with the rest of the school. We need to find out why?

26. KS1 – KS2 • We now have enough historic data to start assessing the progress made by a group of children from the end of KS1 (Y2) to the end of KS2 (Y6). The group for the past two years is 11 children. • If you look at your pack you can see that the progress made is split into quartiles – lower, median and upper. I have also added upper + for those who have gone beyond. • At this point I have looked only at Literacy and Numeracy.

29. Year on Year Improvement • 2007 – Overall figure 66% • 2008 – Overall figure 70% • 2009– Overall figure 83% • 2010– Overall figure 87% • 2011– Overall figure 92% • 2012– Overall figure 98% • 2013– Overall figure 120%

30. PROPOSED TARGETS 2013 • Overall target 105% (19pts) 120 • KS2 – 112% ( 20pts) 106 • KS1 – 100% (18pts) 148 • N CLASS – 120% (22pts) 146 • O CLASS – 110% (20pts) 78 • R CLASS – 115% (21pts) 79 • T CLASS – 105% (19pts) 93 • H CLASS – 105% (19pts) 149 • W CLASS – 100% (18pts) 140 • A CLASS – 100% (18pts) 120 • Y CLASS – 100% (18pts) 186

31. What does this years data tell us? • The progress overall is better than ever and year on year the children make further progress. • All subjects have made progress on average of over 1 P Level. • However this year that progress has been largely based on the non-core subjects. • It has also been based on progress in KS1 to Y3 and from Y5 – Y6 (N Class) and there has been a slowing in the progress in KS2. • Each class will need to look at their own profile to identify their stronger and weaker areas and reflect. • There needs to be a re-focus on the core skills of literacy and numeracy. • Increasingly we struggle with progression in Using and Applying in Numeracy. Weakest area in Literacy is speaking – increasing number of non-verbal children. • KS1 – KS2 data which will become more robust over the years tells us we are progressing the majority of the children in the upper quartile and beyond, but the two areas where they don’t make the more rapid level of progress is Writing and Using and Applying. The data is telling us these continue to be the comparatively weaker areas.

32. The future • Need to start collating the data on a termly basis and issuing reports 3 times a year – certainly for the core subject strands. • What data do we want on the website and in what form? • I am attending a course “Data for Special Schools” on Friday 15th November when I will learn about how to compare our data with national standards and with other special schools. • The KS1 – KS2 data means we can much clearer about target setting and where we would expect our children to be as they leave the school based on their Y2 assessments.
