The government announced today that it will be conducting an overhaul of the nation’s primary schools by transforming the 200 worst performing institutions into academies. Although the Department for Education has not yet released a list of affected schools, parents will no doubt be wondering whether their own children’s education will be affected by changes.
The New Statesman can confirm that the criteria for assessing the “worst” schools are as follows:
1. Schools that have fewer than 60 per cent of pupils attaining level 4 or above in English and Maths at Key Stage 2 (SATs exams)
2. Schools that have a lower than average progression level for pupipils between Key Stages 1 and 2
Primary schools that have consistently fallen below average on both of these criteria for the past five years are thus likely to be affected by the new changes. The final figure may not be exactly 200 schools, the DfE have said, but the number is likely to be within that region.
Using data collated by the BBC for the academic year 2009-2010, here are 197 that would be categorised as “worst” by these criteria. Of course, things could change between now and the decision being taken. The list is by local authority:
