Autumn Package

How well is my school doing?

In order to help target your resources the first place many schools start is identifying which groups of peoples are most at risk of underachievement.

Before trying to identify the significance of gender issues within an individual school or LEA, it may be helpful to first look at the national picture. What are the national trends for boys' and girls' achievements at each key stage?

You can then use the national pupil performance information in the Autumn Package as part of the Five Stage Cycle for School Improvement in conjunction with performance information provided to your school by your LEA and your school's own performance data from end of key stage assessments and on-going monitoring of pupils' progress. This information will help you answer the questions 'how well are we doing?', 'how do we comparre to similar schools?'  and 'what more should we aim to achieve?'
