Performance Trends: ethnicity, disadvantaged children and SEN
RaiseonLine 2016 shows
KS1 –The GRT children have lower attainment in all subjects compared to our White British cohort. Only 25% of the GRT met the expected standard for each subject whereas the White British cohort 70%+ for each subject. This was due to low GRT numbers (4 children) and poor attendance.
KS2 – The GRT children have lower attainment in all subjects compared to our White British cohort. None of the GRT met the expected standard for each subject whereas the White British cohort 65%+ for each subject. The GRT progress scores were also much lower than their White British Peers. This was due to low GRT numbers (4 children) and poor attendance (3 of the children were travelling during the SATs).
KS1 – Disadvantaged children attained higher than their non-disadvantaged peers and higher than national disadvantaged for reading, writing, maths and science. 86% of the disadvantaged children met the required standard in each subject compared with 65% for maths and writing and 73% for reading for their non-disadvantaged peers.
KS2 – Disadvantaged children progressed quicker than their non-disadvantaged peers in our school for all reading, writing and maths. Their progress was above national levels for maths but below for reading and writing (although all of the scores were broadly in line with national figures). The disadvantaged children included some of the GRT cohort and so attendance was an issue for this cohort too. The disadvantaged children attained higher than the schools non-disadvantaged for maths but marginally lower for reading and writing. Whilst their attainment scores were marginally below national levels for all subjects they were still broadly in line with national trends.
KS1 – Only one child was SEN in last year’s cohort so no useful comparisons can be made. Attainment was below national but this was due to the one child not making the expected standard.
KS2 - Only one child was SEN in last year’s cohort so no useful comparisons can be made. Progress was below national but due to the very large confidence band (due to it being only 1 child) the progress was still broadly in line with national.
Religion or belief
No data about Religion is kept.
GENDER
Raiseonline 2016 shows the following:
KS1 - Last year the girls attained much better scores than their male peers. 100% of the girls met the standard in reading but only 50% of the boys; whilst in writing and maths it was 92% compared to 43%. The GRT children were predominantly boys in this cohort and so poor attendance had an effect on the boys scores overall.
KS2 – Whilst a higher percentage of boys attained the expected standard in all subjects compared to their female peers in school, their progress was slower across KS2 than the girls for all subjects. All boys and girl subject areas had progress lower than national levels but this was due to baseline issues and GRT attendance. The boys’ attainment was in line or above national boys attainment for all subjects; whilst the girls were below their national peers levels.
The staff population is predominantly female although there are 2 male teachers.
Sexual orientation
