Minutes:

7.1

The Committee considered a report of the Performance and Analysis Service, People Services, providing a summary of Ward level data across a number of contextual, attainment and progress measures in Sheffield.

 

 

7.2

Kate Wilkinson (Service Manager - Performance and Analysis Service) attended the meeting and introduced the report.

 

 

7.3

Members of the Committee raised questions, and the following responses were provided:-

 

 

 

·                It would be possible, in terms of future reports, to include statistical information in terms of the percentage of pupils attending schools in areas where they were resident.

 

 

 

·                Whilst it appeared to be a slight oddity, the national average in respect of Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4 progress was a minus figure.

 

 

 

·                Mobility of pupils could be up to 30% in some Council Wards. Data on mobility could be included in future reports.

 

 

 

·                On the basis that it was accepted that there could be huge differentials in terms of levels of deprivation between neighbourhoods within some Wards, such as Beauchief and Greenhill, it would be possible to produce similar statistics, as set out in the report, at a neighbourhood level.

 

 

7.4

RESOLVED: That the Committee:-

 

 

 

(a)       notes the information contained in the report now submitted, together with the responses to the questions raised; and

 

 

 

(b)       requests that:-

 

 

 

(i)         the information set out in the report be forwarded to the Chairs of the Local Area Partnerships; and

 

 

 

(ii)        the statistics in the report be included in the reports requested under the previous item on academisation, in order to provide a link between the policy and the numbers.
