Minutes:

The Assistant Director Education presented this report which provided a very detailed analysis of outcomes for all pupil groups at the end of each key stage in the primary phase of education.Comparisons had been made with the results nationally wherever possible. There would be a separate report for Special Educational Needs and Disability.

 

Generally, the gender gap in attainment had narrowed but only because girls’ achievement had decreased. Phonics were now in line with national figures. There would be an aim of sharing good practice between schools, and Members noted that all schools engaged with the statistics irrespective of their management status.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the Standards 2019 reports be noted and shared with headteachers and used as an essential tool to challenge underperformance as well as celebrate successes/improvements in Wirral schools.
