Medway in primary bottom five
Comments |
Medway has ranked in the bottom five areas in the country
for primary schools results.
The latest primary school league tables, released this week by the
Department of Children, Schools and Families, are based on Key
Stage 2 Sats tests taken by pupils in May 2009.
This year’s Medway results showed fewer children reached the
standards expected in English and maths compared to the year
before.
There was a sharp drop in standards in English, with 75 per cent of
pupils getting a level four or above, compared to 78 per cent the
year below.
And Medway is among one of the worst performing local authorities
in England for the scores, with more schools failing to reach the
national average than not.
Director of children and adult services Rose Collinson (pictured

has carried out assessments to pinpoint how it can help poorly
performing schools.
