2008 2009 2010 2011 Bradford Bradford Target National National comparisons will not be available until October 2011 Bradford’s improvement has continued and in 2011 the target for the ‘good level of development’ measure was met
Whilst we’ve met the target for 2011 we are still not closing the gap to national performance fast enough. Are our expectations high enough and what more do we need to do to close the gaps?
KS1 Level 2b+

Need to rapidly accelerate improvements in attainment to close on the gap to national figures
Whilst the FSP profile continues to improve, why aren’t our KS1 results showing a similar improvement? What actions do we need to take to accelerate progress in KS1?
Key Stage 2 results 2011

If we are to close the attainment gap then we need to have 2 levels progress that is greater than the national average; with a target to increase the number of children achieving 3 levels progress
Key Stage 4 results 2011

In this measure, compared to 5+ A*-C in all subjects, the gap to national is closing too slowly. Significant and rapid improvements in students’ performance in GCSEs in English and maths are needed

Priorities
“Our collective achievement will be measured by the success of the weakest students and the opportunities for the strongest students to excel” Bradford Partnership of Secondary Schools All Bradford schools are judged ‘good’ or better by Ofsted. that we achieve this?
By when? What will Bradford’s Education Improvement Strategy look like if it is to ensure Accelerating improvements in educational attainment - this is a key priority in the current Children and Young People’s Plan. Narrowing the gap between vulnerable and disadvantaged children and their peers remains a significant challenge for the district – with a particularly focus on further accelerating the progress of all Pakistani pupils; reversing the increasing attainment gap between those pupils receiving free school meals and those not; and improving the dreadfully low attainment of white pupils on FSM. Are you using the range of data tools on BSO which allow single school, group and authority level analysis of data?
Ensure all primary and secondary schools are above the new National Floor Standards.
Partnership working at all levels - so that school-to-school working plays a significant role in achieving our aspirations for all of the District’s schools to be high achieving and rapidly improving.

If we’re going to see a ‘step change’ in the outcomes achieved by schools then we believe that in the future we must make full use of the significant expertise and capacity in Bradford’s schools So the service is allocating time to support the development of partnership working to fully exploit school-to-school support
Development of a traded service
We believe that the service offers a group of well qualified and experienced school improvement professionals who know Bradford schools, the context that you work in and the priorities for schools, collaboratives and the District
