2. KS2 Attainment and Funding Rankings Over Time – the cumulative picture This chart includes the LA ranking for the cumulative cost of a pupil’s primary education (Yrs 1 to 6). This reflects the fact that Year 6 pupils in 2013/14 had been through 6 years of declining funding rather than 6 years of the lowest funding. The gradual decline in funding does not explain the sharp decline in results in 2012/13. *Note: Wiltshire, Devon, Shropshire, Poole, S. Gloucestershire & Leicestershire were ranked below us in 2013/14 Source : DfE Cambridgeshire data matrix December 2014 and Local Authority Interactive Tool December 2014, Ofsted data View and in-house data on LA pupil funding 11

3. Cambridgeshire LA Ranking: End of KS2 Attainment against prior KS1 Attainment in Writing The ranking of each cohort has declined since the end of Key Stage 1. Between 2010 and 2012 the difference was around 40 places but in 2013 the gap widened to 76 places. This change coincides with the core KS2 benchmark becoming L4+ in Reading, Writing and Maths, rather than L4+ in English & Maths.

5. KS4 Attainment and Funding Rankings Over Time – the cumulative picture There may be a weak link between funding and performance. However, with the exception of 2013/14, despite declining funding, Ofsted performance improved over this period.

6. Cambridgeshire LA Ranking: End of KS4 Attainment against prior KS2 Attainment in English & Maths The ranking of each cohort has declined since the end of Key Stage 2. In most years the difference was around 30 places and this is also the case following the introduction of the ‘First Entry’ methodology.

11. A complex problem, but we know things that work

12. And some things that have little impact

13. In conclusion  There is a lot we need to make a difference to but there are green shoots to nurture.  We know an increasing amount about how to make a difference but we need to know more, and to use this intelligence.  There is very good practice in Cambridgeshire – you will be hearing about some this morning - but it needs to be (and can be) more widespread.
