SATs Results Published

You may have noticed the SATs results (league tables) in the national and local press today.
Sir Robert Hitcham's most recent results were excellent. According to the East Anglian Daily Times tables SRH is placed 7th in the county. This is for the percentage of children getting level 4 (the National expected standard for most children at the end of year 6) in both maths and english. This year 93% of our children receached this standard. This compares with 73% nationally and 68% in Suffolk.
The 6 schools (in Suffolk) with even higher scores than SRH all have much smaller cohorts. The EADT does not give a score for average points score. Our score of 29.8 (which takes into account the number of children reaching level 5 - higher than the national expectation) is only beaten by 5 schools in the county. In maths for example 64% of our children achieved level 5 this year with 98%. Furthermore the national tables give a Contextual Value Added score. Our score of 100.8 is the 6th highest in the county. This CVA is a good indicator because it shows that we are doing a good job with the children that we have - no matter what their background. Some schools with relatively low SATs scores do have a high CVA. We hope that this helps to explain the tables / figures more clearly.
