Achievement 2023-24

This last year has been an exceptional year in terms of curriculum development; and the data demonstrates much of that progress. The curriculum has been on a real journey these last 12 months, and we are confident that this will support the pupils even further in the coming years to achieve more than they already have.

Key Stage 5 Accreditations 2024

Year 13 impact summary

The main accreditations which are on offer within KS5 are Duke of Edinburgh, Princes Trust, and Arts Award. The accreditations on offer are reflective of the interests and Pathways within KS5. This year we have also supported pupils in achieving levels within their Entry Level Maths and English if this was not achieved in KS4 and we could see further potential.

9 pupils were entered into the Princes Trust award, with 5 achieving the EL3 Certificate and 4 achieving the EL3 Award. 

8 pupils were entered into the Arts Award and all achieved the Bronze award.

19 pupils were entered for the Duke of Edinburgh Silver award and this was achieved by every pupil.

Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Data

Key stage 1

At the end of KS1, 4 pupils were assessed using the Engagement model. Following the Government’s response to the 2017 consultation on primary assessment, on 20 July 2022, the DfE announced that assessments at the end of KS1 would become non-statutory from the academic year 2023 to 2024.

 Key Stage 2

EYFS Data

Pupils in Reception follow our Foundations for Life Curriculum which reflects the standards expected in Early Years.  This is tracked through Evidence for Learning and Learning Journeys.   In 2023-24 we recorded 16 pupils across Ducklings and Cygnets using the Foundation for Life curriculum

Pupils on average made 4 points progress which relates to one level within a colour band; for example Red 1 to Red 2. The most progress was made within Communication and PSED. Listening on average saw a progress of 8 points, expression saw an average progress of 7 points. Within PSED, building relationships saw an average progress of 7 points, with managing self and self regulation averaging 6 points progress.

Vulnerable Groups

When looking at those pupils receiving pupil premium there were no discernible differences in the achievement.  Our pupil premium impact report shows improvements across all aspects of the curriculum.

National Data

Due to our pupils learning difficulties, the published national data does not adequately represent their progress or attainment because national data only includes GCSE (or equivalent) results, which are not appropriate for the majority of our pupils.
