Thanks! Just wanted to add that it is worth looking at the percentages of pupils making expected progress as well as the overall levels. The % achieving L4+ doesn't take into account the levels children started at - you can get a better idea of the impact the school has had by looking at the percentages making expected progress or the value added score. (A VA score of 100 means pupils are performing as expected based on KS1 scores while above 100 implies the school is adding value). there is more info here:

http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance/primary_14/index.html

and the following extract explains it quite well "To get a rounded view of school/college performance, it is important to look at more than one performance measure when comparing schools. For example, while attainment figures tell you about the performance at the end of a key stage for a certain group of pupils, it doesn?t tell you how far they have progressed from their starting point.

Expected progress and value added measures give you further context about how effective a school is for pupils, taking their level of attainment at the previous key stage into account. For example, you may find that a school?s pupils achieve low results if you consider only their overall attainment at the end of the key stage. However, if you look at their pupil progress or value added results, their pupils may actually be achieving higher results than would be expected given their starting points. "

Heber's VA score is higher than DHJS for example although one is above and one below the LA average.

Thanks for the explanation. However, I am confused as reading Heber's Ofsted report, it appears one of the main reasons for Heber being downgraded to "needs improving" was that that the children weren't making enough progress given their initial starting point?
