Educational outcomes for pupils in recently amalgamated infant

and junior schools

KS2 outcomes KS2 outcomes

• Standards have risen in 4 out of the 5 schools at both L4 and L5 in all subjects.

• On average, the percentage of pupils achieving L4 has increased by 15% and 14% at L5.

• Value added scores (progress from KS1 to KS2) have improved dramatically. All of the junior schools were in the lowest 20% band nationally at the time of closure.

• By 2014 this trend has been reversed with schools now in the top quarter of schools nationally in most subjects.

• The longer the school has been a primary school the greater the improvements.

• On average, the percentage of pupils achieving L2B+ has increased by 11% and 7% at L3.

• (Two schools amalgamated in 2014 and they will have their first data sets for the primary school Summer 15.)

• All the newly formed primary schools, that have been

inspected, have been judged good by OFSTED under the new framework.
