Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

A report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services provided Members with an early headline summary of the examination results for the three academy schools and the three independent schools. The report noted that the Department for Education had not yet validated the figures but that the report provided an outline summary of the results for 2014.

The Director of Community and Children’s Services explained that a full analysis of the results would be provided at the October Board meeting but as the results currently stood good progress was being made.

A discussion took place and Members noted that the three academies had done particularly well with the GCSE results and that the ‘Value Added’ should be explored. It was noted that school leaver data should be looked at to identify what students went onto do after leaving school and whether those who were ‘predicted’ to do well did go onto delivering the results expected. The leaver data information would be added to the forward plan and considered at a future Board meeting.

RESOLVED – That the contents of the report be noted.
