Minutes:
The Assistant Director of Education presented a report on behalf of the Director of Children, Families and Education which gave information about the provisional pupil outcomes. There was an executive summary followed by a detailed analysis for the pupil outcomes at the age of 5 (Good level of development), age of 6 (Phonics assessment) the age of 7 (Key Stage 1 SATs), the age of 11 (Key Stage 2 SATs) and at the of 16 years old (Key Stage 4 qualifications).
Comparisons had been made with the results nationally wherever possible. For key stage 4 the final statistical release would be at the end of January 2024, any significant changes would be amended and shared with the committee. The report provided a detailed analysis of pupil outcomes and gave a clearer picture a further year on from the COVID-19 pandemic. For the first time since 2019 both primary and secondary outcomes would be published nationally.
Members queried how areas services determined where support was needed and asked whether the location of the school attended, or the home address of the child was the determining factor. Officers stated that this was a recent change and was now based on the home address of the child as many children, particularly of secondary school age, travelled outside of their local area to attend selective schools.
Resolved – That
1. The report be noted; and
2. The committee supported the service priorities to support the school improvement strategy based on the outcomes outlined.
