Overview • Attainment at: • Foundation Stage • Key Stage 2 • Key Stage 4 • The Hastings Story - improving outcomes for young people in Hastings schools
The Early Years • Early Years Foundation Stage is recognised as a separate stage of learning, laying the foundations for when children begin more formal education. • Success at the Foundation Stage is a proven indicator of success further on in a child’s academic career.

Hastings Community Strategy Targets for Attainment • Community Strategy Target 6. 5 GCSE A*-C grades including English & Maths 2010/11 47.7% 2011/12 49% Outcome in 2012: 48.2% • Community Strategy Target 7.

The story • A large proportion of Foundation Stage children are not ready for school - worse in Hastings than can just be explained by deprivation levels • Although attainment is lower in Hastings schools the progress made by pupils is in line with that of pupils in other East Sussex schools • But poor start means many don’t catch up by age 16 • The Hastings and St Leonards Academies are sustaining the improvements secured when the schools were federated • We suggest that to make a difference to community strategy targets set for GCSEs, action is really needed at an earlier stage to ensure a better starting point for all pupils.
