Year 6 – Attainment 2016-18 – 3 year upward trend

The data at the end of KS2 for the last three years (2016-2018) highlights an upward trend in both attainment and progress.

Reading remains a strength of the school

The School Performance Tables are published in December at:

https://www.gov.uk/school-performance-tables

The progress measure for school this year will demonstrate increased progress.

Reading progress is above average with a score of 2.94

Writing progress is average with a score of 0.9

Maths progress is average with a score of 1.28

Expected standard across Reading, writing and mathematics

End of Key Stage 2 Outcomes

Y6 - All Pupils (58 pupils)

Writing - Teacher Assessment against the TA Framework and Test Scales Score for the GPS test.

Below - Includes any P scale assessments.

Other - Includes any assessment codes such as A (absent).

* in Other indicates missing data or, for tests, that the scaled score conversion has not yet been released.

Expected  Standard - a pupil must have a score of 100 or more in reading and mathematics; and have been teacher assessed in writing  as 'working at the expected standard' or 'working at greater depth in the expected standard'.

Higher Standard - a pupil must have a high scaled score in reading and a high scaled score in mathematics; and have been teacher assessed in writing as 'working at a greater depth'. The high scale score vale in mathematics and reading is released by the DfE, after the key stage 2 tests have been sat in the summer term. This value will remain 'Pending' until that time.

This table includes the pupils (10) who joined the school after September 2014 (the start of Y5). 8 of these 10 children had low KS1 average point scores.   An additional 2 children started the year group mid Y4 – both of these children had low KS1 data but made good progress in school although did not reach new expected levels.

Outcomes for 2015-16 pupils

Average progress in reading, writing & maths 2015-16

Waterloo Primary is placed in the middle band of schools nationally for both Writing and Maths progress, once disaggregation occurs.  Disaggregation follows guidance in section 186 and section 188 of the updated Ofsted handbook (August 2016).

2015 Waterloo Primary School Pupil Performance Table

In 2014-15 L4+ floor targets were achieved when disaggregation of ASD Resource Base pupils and new pupils to the cohort in Y6 and mid Y5 were taken into account.

72% of our mainstream pupils achieved L4+ in Reading, Writing and Maths in 2014-15.

These outcomes built on the 2013-14 national data when 58% of our pupils achieved L4+ across Reading, Writing and Maths.  After disaggregation, 70% of the cohort achieved L4+ in all areas for 2013-14.

Headline measures of performance demonstrate that Waterloo in 2014-15 made above national average progress in Reading and Maths, against prior attainment.

Progress data for our Base children, and pupils with SEN has been identified as a  strength in all previous inspections.
