Teacherassessment is used to report pupil’s progress in Reading, Writing,Mathematics, Science and Speaking & Listening; although in many casestasks and tests will have been undertaken to help the teacher reach theirassessment. Pupils assessed as working below level 1 (usually, but notexclusively SEN) are tested against ‘P Scales’, which allow the demonstrationof progress for lower achieving pupils.Within Mathematics, 86.8% of pupils achieved Level 2 or higher in 2008,compared to 86.9% in 2007 representing a fall of -0.1%. Compared to thenational average of 89%, Barnsley falls below by 2.2%. There was somevariation across the wards, with Old Town pupils achieving the highestsuccess rate, whereas St Helen’s achieved the lowest. Interestingly, DartonEast is a weak performer compared to Wards of similar deprivation. Figure6.8.1 illustrates that deprivation has very little affect on pupil performance inMathematics.- 82 -
