Further to provisional KS2 results published earlier in the year, that saw Isle of Wight primary schools placed at the bottom of the league table nationally, Ofsted have now released full 2012 primary school performance tables.
The results for the first Year 6 pupils tested in the expanded Primary Schools show a welcome uplift on previous years.
The statistics
2012 saw 75% of pupils achieve Level 4 or above in English and Maths, with the national average being 79%.
22% of pupils achieved Level 5 or above in English and Maths, with the national average sitting at 27%.
The average point score of 27.6 sees the Isle of Wight 12th from the bottom of the league table for Level 4 in Maths and English.
Previous years at Level 4
Comparing the results with previous years sees an increase of 13 points from the 2011 results which saw 62% of pupils achieved level 4 or above in English and Maths.
Whilst the 2010 results saw 69% of pupils achieved level 4 or above in English and Maths, whilst the national average was 81%.
It is worth noting that KS2 results from the previous two years may well have been affected by the impact of low morale and disruption placed upon pupils and teachers during the school reorganisation.

Our congratulations to those who worked hard and achieved good results. Details for the individual schools are outlined below.
Thanks to Parent Governor Representative, Dave Miller, for the headsup and data.
