6th form outcomes
The sixth form had small numbers of students entering formal exams as for many of them the focus of the year was to prepare for leaving as the already had a suite of qualifications appropriate for their next steps. All of the leavers have secure placements in education and training. Outstanding results were achieved in English with 4/5 students meeting or exceeding their target grades despite being a cohort who had struggled with English in year 11 at Newhaven and elsewhere. Good results were also achieved in stats and Art for small cohorts.
Outcomes by category
Girls had better outcomes than boys relating to target grades in all subjects except for Food where all students entered achieved a level 2. This relates to individual students showing that girls generally had better attendance, engagement and higher reading ages. An exception to this is maths where another factors must have been at play. Maths are targeting boys for additional support earlier this year.
Students with EHCPs made up 17% of the cohort and did better in English, Art and Sport than those without. In other subjects they were equal. This was due to the targeted support these students had through their review process.
Ethnic minority students achieved broadly in line with white British students although they did do significantly better in Maths and Art (100% exceeded their target grade in Art- an outstanding achievement).
Pupil premium students did better in subjects where the whole cohort did better (such as Eng, Sci BTEC, Art, Food, Sport) and worse in the subjects where the cohort did not do as well (Maths and Sci GCSE). Drilling down revealed no patterns so efforts in these two subjects will be used to improve outcomes for all PP students.
