WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th OCTOBER 2009
Question
What was the actual number per school (also expressed as a percentage of the year entry) of students entering the 11-14 secondary schools this last September who were not adjudged competent in literacy and numeracy skills?
Answer
National Curriculum Level 4, based on teacher assessment, is the expected level of attainment for pupils completing their primary education. In July 2009:
72% achieved level 4 and above in English – 28% achieved below this 73% achieved level 4 and above in Mathematics – 27% achieved below this
These results are broadly in line with a normally distributed population.
The numbers and percentage of pupils entering the four 11-16 secondary schools with levels of attainment which are below level 4 were as follows:
School |

Grainville | 47 | 4.5% | 43 4.1% |
Haute Vallée | 70 | 6.7% | 59 5.7% |
Le Rocquier | 70 | 6.7% | 67 6.5% |
Les Quennevais | 51 | 4.9% | 52 5% |
These figures include pupils with additional and special needs who are fully integrated into secondary education in accordance with the department's policy for inclusion.
Additional Information:
41% of 2009 secondary intake entered fee-paying schools.
All pupils entering Victoria College and JCG achieved Level 4 or above in English and Mathematics.
