KS2 Attainment and Funding Rankings Over Time – the cumulative picture

This chart includes the LA ranking for the cumulative cost of a pupil’s primary education (Yrs 1 to 6). This reflects the fact that Year 6 pupils in 2013/14 had been through 6 years of declining funding rather than 6 years of the lowest funding.

The gradual decline in funding does not explain the sharp decline in results in 2012/13. *Note: Wiltshire, Devon, Shropshire, Poole, S. Gloucestershire & Leicestershire were ranked below us in 2013/14

Cambridgeshire LA Ranking: End of KS2 Attainment against prior KS1 Attainment in Writing

The ranking of each cohort has declined since the end of Key Stage 1. Between 2010 and 2012 the difference was around 40 places but in 2013 the gap widened to 76 places. This change coincides with the core KS2 benchmark becoming L4+ in Reading, Writing and Maths, rather than L4+ in English & Maths.

There may be a weak link between funding and performance. However, with the exception of 2013/14, despite declining funding, Ofsted performance improved over this period.

Vulnerable Groups – national comparison as no local comparison available

Overall results look positive; Cambs has done better than national

First impressions for vulnerable groups are:

SEN pupils perform as well as nationally

FSM, FSM+SEN, and EAL pupils are under-performing compared to national figures

A complex problem, but we know things that work

And some things thathave little impact

In conclusionThere is a lot we need to make a difference to

but there are green shoots to nurture.We know an increasing amount about how to

make a difference but we need to know more, and to use this intelligence.

There is very good practice in Cambridgeshire – you will be hearing about some this morning - but it needs to be (and can be) more widespread.
