Assessment Performance Measures

At Russet House School we are very proud of our pupils and their achievements.  Our pupils often make small steps of progress which we value and celebrate with them.

It is a requirement of the Department for Education (DfE) that we publish our exam and assessment results.

These results show Russet House School’s most recent key stage 2 performance measures as published by the Secretary of State (for the 2018 to 2019 academic year):

• progress scores in reading, writing and maths
• average ‘scaled scores’ in reading and maths
• percentage of pupils who achieved the expected standard or above in reading, writing and maths
• percentage of pupils who achieved at a higher level of attainment in reading, writing and maths

These are available at the following link https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/school/130958/russet-house-school/primary

 The DfE highlights that data in the school performance tables only show part of the picture of a school, its demographics and it’s pupil’s achievements.

When measuring the effectiveness of a school it is important to consider the context of the school.  As Russet House School is a special school, our pupils  have lower attainment levels than those in a mainstream school when assessed in accordance with national / standardized levels.
