The results I have: Harris Girl's, Kingsdale and Charter had 2/3 of their pupils gettting 5 GCSEs including English and Maths, Walworth Academy, a bit higher at 70%. I have requested the results for other schools in the borough from council officers.

Interesting reading the official league tables for Southwark

table for southwark

Well done to Harris Girls, particularly the fantastic value added score.

It looks as if Kingsdale's GCSE score has been revised downwards (Rentata mentions 66% getting 5 gcse including english and maths above but the table says only 45%. Is this the outcome following the investigation last summer? Does anyone know what happened in the end or is the topic still off limits?

[Fuschia]

Aren't king scale on Bout 60% gcse And equivalents? The measure includes other courses such as gnvq

[prickle]

You are right that they score 60% for GCSE and equivalent but their pure GCSE score is 45%.

[Fuschia]

I guess the 66% they reported in the summer is now 60%

The reason for the difference is As likely to be to do with how many new arrivals to the country get excluded, that sort of thing

The Evening Standard did a two page spread yesterday with results for every London Borough.

It was surprising to see that some schools in Lewisham had the lowest value added score than any other borough in London. Even Aske's had a negative VAM. But Harris Crystal Palace had a better GCSE pass rate that Dulwich College.

This shows how quickly these school improve/deteriorate. When we were looking at schools just 4 years ago, Lewisham schools were considered much better than Southwark's and you wouldn't touch Harris Girls with a barge pole.

Goes to show that you need to do your homework and not necessarily go by the reputation of the school.

The Lewisham schools with the lowest VAM have always been poor performing but it was interesting to see how the other borough's such as Harringay have left them behind. Lewisham LA seem to be blind to the fact that parents are going for smaller classes and streaming, and any gimmicks such as scholarships in other boroughs and not for 30 mixed ability children in one class. Lewisham has been really aggressive about improving their Primary schools, and it's working, but they do not seem to be making the same progress with the secondarys. I wonder if it's because the most able children in Lewisham are going to school in other boroughs.
