Primary schools performance table published

Special rankings for Peterborough (value added) and Brackenbury (sustainable improvement).

The primary schools performance table, published last week by the Department for Education and Skills, shows the progress made by many local schools. Bellow the table is reproduced with a comparison of the average score points of 2002 and 2003.

In this year's performance tables, two local schools deserved special rankings: Peterborough Primary School and Brackenbury Primary School.

Peterborough Primary School is the 12th among the top 100 schools using the value added measure. According to the DfES, while the threshold indicators give a valuable indication of schools achieving the expected levels of performance, the value added measure is a better reflection of school effectiveness than the stand alone threshold indicators. It indicates the value the school has added on average for their pupils.

Brackenbury Primary School is the 3rd among the 100 schools showing most improvement in the aggregate of English, maths and science results since 2000, which is considered by the DfES a sustainable improvement.
