DfE: Neighbourhood Statistics - Small Area Early Years Foundation Stage Profile, National Curriculum Assessment, GCSE and Equivalent and Post 16 Attainment by Pupil Characteristics in England, 2009

DescriptionThese tables provide information for the 2009 academic year on institution-based and pupil residency based small area pupil attainment (EYSFP, KS1, KS2, KS4 and KS5) broken down by gender, Free School Meal (FSM) eligibility and gender. These latest statistics complement the 2008 attainment figures which were previously published on 18/08/2009. Institution-based tables for 2009 were published on 13/05/2010. Pupil residency based tables for 2009 were published on 10/06/2010.

The following data is available:

Institution-based tables:
  • Pupil attainment by gender at KS1, KS2, KS4 and KS5 referenced by location of educational institution at National, Regional, Local Authority District (LAD) and Middle Layer Super Output Area (MSOA) level (KS1 and KS2 only).
Pupil residency based tables:
  • Pupil attainment by gender at EYFSP, KS1, KS2, KS4 and KS5 referenced by location of pupil residence, at National, Regional, LAD, MSOA and Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) level.
  • Pupil attainment by FSM eligibility at EYFSP, KS1, KS2 and KS4 referenced by location of pupil residence, at National, Regional, LAD and MSOA level.
  • Pupil attainment by ethnic group at EYFSP, KS1, KS2, KS4 and KS5 referenced by location of pupil residence, at National, Regional and LAD level.
The key points from the latest release are:

Institution-based tables:
  • The tables reinforce previous messages about patterns of attainment and about the relationship between attainment and gender at National, Regional and Local levels.
  • Girls continue to perform better than boys in the majority of Local Authority Districts (LADs) at KS1, particularly in English subjects. At KS2 girls perform better than boys in English, and in the majority of LADs for science and English and maths combined, but not in maths. At KS4 and KS5, girls also outperform boys in the large majority of LADs. There is evidence of local variation in the extent to which the gap between boys and girls is either increasing or closing across key stages and subjects across the country.
Pupil residency based tables:
  • The tables reinforce previous messages about patterns of attainment and about the relationship between attainment and gender, FSM eligibility and ethnic group at National, Regional and Local levels.
  • At EYFSP resident girls consistently perform better than resident boys in all LADs. Resident girls also perform better, particularly in English subjects, than resident boys in the majority of LADs at KS1 and KS2, although at KS2 resident boys perform better at maths in the majority of LADs. At KS4 and KS5, resident girls also outperform resident boys in all but a small number of LADs.
  • In general, non-FSM pupils perform significantly better than FSM pupils in all areas of the country. The performance gap starts at EYFSP and continues through Key Stages 1, 2 and 4.
  • Chinese pupils continue to have the highest levels of attainment across all Key Stages and almost regions. Black pupils have some of the lowest levels of attainment across the country across all Key Stages.
