  5. Educational achievement: Social Class • Social class is a fundamental variable affecting levels of educational achievement. • Pupils in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) have significantly lower levels of achievement across all Key Stages and in GCSEs • 33% of pupils eligible for FSM gain 5 GCSE Grade A* -C (compared with 61% of non FSM pupils; national average is 57.3) DfES Statistics First Release 2007

  6. Educational achievement • Bilingual and multilingual learners – If there is little or no provision to support bilingual learners then their learning suffers (The Foundation Stage, Ofsted 2007). Where children’s home language is supported they are more likely to get top-grade passes in GCSE exams in all subjects (Positively Plurilingual, CiLT 2006) • Travellers and Roma – perform below national average at all Key Stages (DfES Statistical First Release 2007) • Refugees and asylum seekers – many high achievers but some groups do underachieve: Kurdish boys (Mehmet Ali 2006), Somali pupils (Lambeth 2007), East European Roma (Aiming High, DfES 2003)
