3. Key Stages of Compulsory Education

4. Key Stages and Assessment

5. Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Profile Children aged 5 in reception Improving outcomes metric % - 78+ points and 6+ in PSED & CLL An improving year, Worcestershire maintains at National level Contributory data ,(above metrics split individually) are all at National level Reassurance - moderation process awarded top rating for robustness Worcestershire size and diversity of population creates large spread of data

6. Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Profile Children aged 5 in reception Narrowing the gap between attainment of the lowest 20% of children and the rest An improving year for Worcestershire Improvements to the analysis of data to support the most vulnerable Helps to identify targeted support

7. Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Profile by District 1355 Children in bottom 20% Worcester is the only district where the average score has decreased and the % gap has increased between 2011 and 2012

8. Breakdown of the bottom 20% children The 1355 children were allocated into one category only (prioritised as x-axis) Almost half the children have a SEN or are summer born Enables targeted support to specific settings and schools

9. Ofsted in the Early Years National evidence of Pre-School experience UK Wide – Inspection results for all active providers in last Ofsted cycle 2008-12 Exceptional results considering size of Worcestershire (@1000 providers) 83% Outstanding and Good would be in Top 10 performing LA’s in the UK New Ofsted Early Years framework from Sept 2012 with a focus on satisfactory settings Focussed Improvement Plans, offer Pre-Ofsted workshops, eradicate inadequate judgements, learn and spot trends from latest inspection reports

10. Balanced Scorecard approach EYCS service business plan and key metrics have followed a balanced scorecard approach throughout 2012/13 – timely reviews , reflection and actions. Four key priorities Metric Improvement Improve educational achievement Universal rating system - 73% up to 86% Reduce gaps in attainment Ofsted Outstanding & Good - 74% to 82% Develop Providers capacity ECERS (QA scheme) Co-audit training 245 influential practitioners engaged (out of 325) 180 joint observations completed. Improve early intervention Number of children supported by inclusion 440 up to 658 – EYSFF approach. Moving into 2013 metrics need to be smarter, measurable and more appropriate –looking at early success indicators.

11. 2013 EYFS and Early Years • EYFSP change of metrics in 2013 – waiting on DfE for definition of ‘good level of development’ • Good level of development (GLD) in: • Three prime areas for all children: personal, social andemotional development, (PSED) communication and language (CL) and physical development (PD) required for essential for healthy development: • Specific areas of mathematics and literacy (readiness for school • Dedicated team in Early Years with district alignment • Part of 0-19 Service to support transition of children into school • Remain committed to quality improvement

12. Year 1 Phonics Check • New in 2012 - designed to confirm whether individuals have learnt phonic decoding to an appropriate standard. • A mixture of real words and pseudo-words. • Pupils needed to score at least 32/40 in order to be deemed as working at the expected level

13. Key Stage 1 • Teachers make an assessment for each child at the end of Year 2 (aged 7). The teacher assessments for each school are moderated at least once every four years. • Using National Curriculum Levels – Level 2B is the “expected” standard reached by a 7 year old. • Focus is on Speaking & Listening, Reading, Writing, Maths and Science. Overall performance is reported at National and LA level for: Level 2 and above, Level 2B and above, Level 3

15. Key Stage 1: % L2B+ Writing

17. Key Stage One Summary points • The recent upward trend is being sustained. This matches the higher levels of development on leaving Early Years over the past three years. • Standards are above those seen nationally and for statistical neighbours. • More pupils are better placed year on year to work at and exceed national standards in KS2 and beyond.

18. KEY STAGE 2 • Assessed at end of Year 6 (age 11) by National Tests • Using National Curriculum Levels • Reading & Writing and Maths Performance Indicators • At least Level 4 in Reading, Writing and Maths • Progression by 2+ levels from Key Stage 1 in both Reading and Writing • Progression by 2+ levels from Key Stage 1 in Maths

19. Floor Standards 2013 (KS2) A school is below the DfE floor standards if • The percentage of children achieving Level 4 in Reading, Writing and Maths is below 60% and • The percentage of children making at least expected progress in Reading and Writing is below the national median (89%) and • The percentage of children making at least expected progress in Maths is below the national median (87%)

20. [Slideshow Title - edit in Headers & Footers] Changes to Writing assessment Comparisons of English results need to be made with caution as methodology has changed every year : • 2010 Writing was assessed by a standardised test. Some schools boycotted these tests. • 2011 The last year Writing was assessed by a single standardised test. • 2012 Writing was assessed by teachers across a range of context and a level reported. • 2013 Introduction of new Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling test, to be reported separately from Teacher Assessment.

24. Key Stage Two- Summary points • Standards are rising but are still below national levels and those of statistical neighbours. The gap has closed to 2%. • Progress in English is improving but is still below national levels and those of statistical neighbours. The gap has closed to 2%. • Progress in Maths is improving but is still below national levels and those of statistical neighbours. The gap has closed to 2%.

25. [Slideshow Title - edit in Headers & Footers] Narrowing the Gap – “Disadvantaged Pupils” • In 2011, DfE introduced measures showing the attainment and progress of disadvantaged pupils compared with others. • Pupils counted as “disadvantaged” include all those registered for free school meals (FSM) and Children Looked After (CLA). This indicator is therefore used to measure the impact of the Pupil Premium, • For 2012, the definition has changed again in line with the 2012-13 change to Pupil Premium allocations, to include all pupils registered for FSM in the past six years and CLA.

31. KS4 Floor Standards In 2012 a school was below the DfE floor standards if • The percentage of children achieving 5+ A*-C including GCSE English and maths is below 40% and • The percentage of children making at least expected progress in English is below the national median (70%) and • The percentage of children making at least expected progress in Maths is below the national median (70%) No Worcestershire high school was below these standards in 2012

35. 2012 GCSE Outcomes – summary • Worcestershire has maintained the gains made over the last two years and shown a small further increase • Outcome hides a 'spiky profile' across schools. Overall 14 high schools saw an increase on their 2011 outcomes; 13 fell and 2 stayed the same. Within that, 8 schools increased their headline figure by 10% or more but 6 fell by the same measure. • Schools are very aware that the floor standard will rise again to 50% in 2014 and are working to ensure that this is met. In 2012, seven high schools would have been below this measure if it had been in place.

36. [Slideshow Title - edit in Headers & Footers] English Baccalaureate (Ebacc) • The Ebacc was introduced in January 2011 by the DfE as an additional measure in the performance tables. • It recognises the success of those young people who attain A*-C grades in GCSEs across a core of academic subjects – English, mathematics, geography or history, sciences and a language.
