Key Performance Measures

KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES Summer 2023

When looking at our percentages, please remember that in a one form entry school like ours, in each year group, a child typically represents about 3.5%.

END OF KS2 RESULTS (Y6)

Our KS2 scores at the end of 2023, were extremely pleasing, and demonstrated continued improvement. Reading, writing, and maths were all above national at Age Related Expectations (ARE); we were also above national in reading, mathematics, GPS, at Greater Depth (GDS). Scaled scores are another important measure because they include every child’s performance, and our scores are above both the LA and national figures in reading and maths.

WHOLE SCHOOL SUMMARY

There is much to celebrate from our 2023 data. The Chidham Team continues to demonstrate commitment and hard work to enable all our children to succeed and achieve their best. Like all other schools, we continue to evolve and strive to improve and so enable our children to receive the best education they rightly deserve. Having conducted some initial analysis, some of our next steps for continued improvement during 2023/24 are:

To improve writing. This will be supported by the school being involved in the Oracy 21 Project (which will build on ideas learnt having been previously involved in the Disadvantaged Project run by Marc Rowland)
To further supporting the staff’s understanding of the mastery approach to teaching mathematics to deepen the children’s mathematical understanding
Embedding the teaching of reading across key stages to develop the children’s love for reading and to uplevel their reading skills
To ensure the curriculum is adapted to meet all learners needs and to ensure all intervention/support initiatives enables those pupils to make good or better progress

ARE means working at Age Related Expectations.

GDS means working at Greater Depth within the Standard.

GPS refers to an English test on Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling.

RWM Combined means those pupils achieving a pass or better in Reading and Writing and Mathematics

Scaled Scores convert pupils actual test scores into a ranking system, whereby 100 is considered the pass mark.
