Response

The data provided in this response relates to States of Jersey maintained and fee-paying maintained schools. Unless otherwise stated, it does not include data from the private primary and secondary schools in Jersey.

A(1) and A(2)

 The percentages included in the table above have been independently rounded to the nearest 5%.

A(3) 

The Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills is unable to provide the percentage of Looked After Children that achieved five A*-C (9-4) GCSE including English & Mathematics as due to the small number identified this data is considered disclosive. Article 25 (Personal Information) of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied to this part of the request.

A(4)

A(5)

All GCSE results are provisional at this time, final results for Jersey will be available once remarks and appeals have been processed, and therefore caution should be used when comparing this data to final data for previous years.

B

Pupils are assessed under the Jersey Primary Assessment Framework which was designed with teachers to ensure rigorous assessment of pupils under the new Jersey Curriculum 2014. The framework assesses Key Stage 2 pupils in Year 6 at 6E (6 Emerging), 6D (6 Developing) and 6S (6 Secure). This framework does not equate with the old assessment methodology of levels which was used for the previous curriculum and referred to in the request.

The Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills is unable to provide the percentage of Looked After Children that achieved less than 6D and 6S at the end of Key Stage 2 as due to the small number identified this data is considered disclosive. Article 25 (Personal Information) of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied to this part of the request.

Please note that all attendance provided at this stage is provisional. A report on attendance at States of Jersey schools will be published in 2019 following the publication of comparable figures for England.

The most recent report to have been published, which includes data up until the end of the 2016 / 2017 academic year, is available at the following link:

Pupil Attendance and Absence in Schools in Jersey
