Annual Goals

Goal One

Improve the literacy level, particularly in writing, for boys.

Rationale

When we look at the percentage of pupils who are achieving below or well below National Standards in writing, there are twice as many boys as girls.

The difference between boys and girls begins right at the start and the gap doesn’t change as the children go through school.

A similar picture is evident when we look at reading but nowhere near as dramatic a difference. Also by year 5 and 6 the gap narrows in reading whereas it doesn’t in writing.

Measurable Target

At the end of 2015 the percentage of boys assessed at below or well below in written language will be less than 40% for each year level.

Goal Two

To improve the reading level in the first two years of school.

Rationale

6 out of 9 pupils (66%) who will turn 6 in the first half of this year look unlikely to be reading at level 5 at the end of their first year at school. 6 out of 17 (35%) are still below PM Level 8 at the end of their second year at school.

Measurable Targets

60% of children will achieve at stanine 4 or better in the HRSIW/letter id/word/cap section of the observational survey taken as close as practical to their 6th birthday.
