Decisions for issue Annual Standards Report

RESOLVED: That the Committee agreed –

1.    To note the report and support the focus across the City on improving outcomes for all children and young people, particularly those from the disadvantaged backgrounds.

2.    To note that there have been changes in the curriculum, assessment and benchmark measures for Key Stages 2 and 4 and for determining the performance of disadvantaged groups. This means that there is difficulty in establishing trends when not comparing like with like.
