Barnsley in Depth Children’s and Young People’s Report – 2008/09 Information6 EducationIt is a statutory requirement for Barnsley Local Authority (LA) to maintain aCentral Pupil Database, and also to facilitate the accurate capture of pupillevel data from maintained educational establishments through the tri-annualSchool Census. Analysis of this data set at Borough level gives us details forall pupils in Barnsley schools, including those whose address is outside of theauthority’s administrative boundaries. Ward analysis is based on the identifiedhome address of each pupil, and excludes pupils registered to a Barnsley LAmaintained school living outside the borough. Therefore, the sum of wardfigures will not match the Borough level figures (although differences areminor).6.1 Key Facts on Education• Number of pupils in both Primary and Secondary schools havedeclined.• 5.2% of Primary pupils and 2.9% of secondary pupils were ofethnic origin.• Approximately 7,000 pupils identified as SEN.• Number of pupils receiving FSM has increased.• Pupils at KS1, KS2 are below the national average• Achievement in both Maths and English at KS2 shows disparitybetween boys and girls.• FSM pupils are outperformed at KS2 by their counterparts.• 33.1% ofpupils achieved 5 A*-C passes at GCSE including English& Maths.• The number of Post 16 learners have increased (LSC data).• The number of young people undertaking work based learninghas increased.• 8.7% of 16-18 year olds were NEET.6.2 Number of PupilsThe January 2009, School Census identified 32,000 pupils of all agesregistered to Barnsley schools that could be allocated to a ward.
