Outcomes
English: The table below shows the progress of students who were below nationally expected level at the end of Key Stage 2 in Reading on entry to Dorcan. We use 2 different Interventions for reading to maximise the chance of improved outcomes.
|
100% of the year 7 students, who had Skills Academy [National Literacy Strategy] intervention sustained an increase on their reading age by the end of the year, although some dropped a few months from their post intervention reading age.
|
61% of the year 7 students, who have had Catch-Up intervention sustained an increase in their reading age by the end of the year, although some dropped a few months from their post intervention reading age.
|
Overall at the start of year 7, 86% had reading ages in the broad average range. Recent tests show that in the current Year 8 94% students are at or above the broad average range for Reading, which is a sustained 5% increase, with only 9 students in this year group remaining below the broad average range.

94% of students made progress in Addition and met their targets
100% of students made progress in Subtraction and met their targets
