If I am reading the results properly, 82% of Goodrich pupils now reach the required level in English and maths against 72% last year. That's a big jump. If that's right, well done Goodrich!

Strong improvement across many local schools! Bessemer Grange, Dog Kennel Hill, Goodrich, Heber, Rye Oak, and St John's all improved results. More importantly, all schools (except Heber and St Johns) have value add scores that suggest they are out performing national standards given the ability of their intake so its not all down to gentrification.
Can someone just summarise/give me an idiots guide to what the figures represent - with the value added measures figures too - - we are about to apply for reception (not in ed) and the school we are planning to have as first choice seems to have really low results....but it is a very small school (12 in a year!) so am wondering whether somehow if they had 1 or 2 less able children it might totally skew the result? (at least I'm hoping this is the case!! Otherwise we need to have a rethink!)

That's what the value add is about. It basically determines if children (given their starting ability) are making progress in line with national averages. Schools with a value add score above 100 (for primaries) are progressing pupils faster than average given their starting point . The value add score is really the best measure of how a school is performing. Everything else can largely be down to how capable students are who make it into the school any given year.


An yes, having one or two pupils who are low attainers through no fault of the school would very much skew the expected level in English and Maths %.


Good luck!

Really good to see fewer London schools below the 'floor' target for these test results than any other region in the UK. On the subject of Honor Oak Park schools, Dalmain did very well too.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
