MMU – Interim Report May 2011• Noticeable improvements were made across the AfA cohort in both

English and Maths.

• Pupils in Years 5 and 10 made significantly better progress in English than pupils with SEND nationally during the first year of the project, and Year 5 pupils made significantly better progress in English than pupils without SEND nationally.

• Pupils in Years 5, 7 and 10 made significantly better progress in Maths than pupils with SEND nationally.

• Pupils at School Action Plus, and those with HI, VI, BESD and SPLD, made more progress than other pupils in the cohort.

• Males made more progress in Maths than females, and the reverse was true for English.

• Overall, more progress was made in English than in Maths

MMU – Interim Report May 2011 cont......• Data is being put to a variety of uses to inform provision and

promote positive outcomes • The conversations

a more holistic view of pupils, a culture shift in parental engagement, and have been effective in building a genuine partnership.

• Parents feel more included in the process of their children’s education, more empowered.

• There have also been cases of improved pupil attendance, attributable to a refocus on the pupil themselves and strategies devised to promote enjoyment of school.
