Annual Goal Progress Report
Annual Goal for 2014: To improve the percentage of pupils working at and above the National Standards at years 4 and 5 in Written Language.
Rationale
The 2013 National Standards Report told us:
81% of year 4 pupils are either “below” or “well below” expectations.
82% of year 5 pupils are either “below” or “well below” expectations.
More boys than girls are “below” or “well below” (74% compared to 55%) particularly in the “well below” category..
In 2013 years 4 and 5 fared worse than other year levels. This is the same trend as we found in 2012.
2014 Measurable Target
The percentage of year 4 and 5 pupils assessed as “below” or “well below” will drop to 60% or less by the end of the year.
