Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, People and Economy, which provided an update on the educational outcomes for Halton’s children in care for 2014-15.

It was reported that Halton had a small number of children in care within each key stage cohort which made comparison with the general population and year on year performance very difficult as each child in care had a high statistical significance. 

It was noted that the data provided within the report compared the performance of Halton children who had been in care for 12 months or more, to that of their peers within each key stage.

The report presented outcomes for:

·       Early Years Foundation Stage;

·       Year 1 Phonics;

·       Key Stage 1;

·       Key Stage 2;

·       Key Stage 4; and

·       Attendance and exclusions.

RESOLVED:  That the Board

1)    Notes the contents of the report; and

2)    Notes the possible impact on children’s outcomes and financial implications if Pupil Premium Plus did not continue.
