CURRENT RELEVANT STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
• Increase access to quality local school places and good quality
childcare places (Lambeth Children and Young People’s Plan 2 2007-10)
Do the children and young people of Lambeth achieve national educational
standards?
STATUS
• Those Lambeth school children who complete their GCSEs are doing far
better than previously. Between 1996 and 2006 the gap between Lambeth
students and those in England gaining 5 or more A-C grades reduced from
a 20% point lag to 4% points behind the national average score. 56% of
Lambeth students gained five or more A*-C GCSE passes in 2007
compared with 62% nationally.
• Reading and mathematics at KS1 showed an improvement of 2% and 1%
respectively.
• KS2 results increased 1% to 71% in mathematics while science was up 2%
to 85%.
• Mathematics and science results at KS3 both improved by one percentage
point.
• At both Key Stage 2 (KS2) and at Key Stage 4 (KS4), the achievement gap
between young people who are eligible for free school meals and those who
are not is less than both the London and England gaps for English, Maths
and Science.
• 30% of children met the Foundation Stage Profile criteria to achieve the
points score target compared with 46% nationally. (The target is at least 78
points across the Foundation Stage Profile with at least 6 points in Personal,
Social and Emotional Development, and Communication, Language and
Literacy).
• 53.7% of young people leaving care achieve one or more GCSE A*-G
grades, an increase of 8.7%.
SIGNIFICANT INEQUALITIES IDENTIFIED
• Only 60% of Lambeth students achieved a Level 2 qualification by age 19 in
2006 compared with 71% of London and England students.
• The performance of Caribbean pupils is improving at a slower rate than in
Lambeth overall. The gap between Caribbean pupils and the average
widened at KS1 by 3 percentage points, at KS1 by 2 points and at KS3 by 4
percentage points.
