Performance and attainment
Ealing's
key
stage 3 results,
GCSE
or equivalent results and
post-16
results are published by the Department for Children,
Schools and Families.
Key stage 3 tests are taken by 14 year olds in their third
year of high school (year 9). Most 14 year olds are expected
to achieve level five or better. In 2006/2007 Ealing's key
stage 3 results were in line with national averages in maths and 2%
points above in English, with 76% of pupils achieving the expected
level. Pupils in the borough are on average making more progress
between the ages of 11 and 14 than pupils nationally.
The proportion of pupils achieving five or more GCSEs at grades A* to C (or equivalent qualifications) including English and maths has improved by ten percentage points in the last three years to 49.1% in Ealing in 2006/2007, more than two percentage points above the national average. Pupils in the borough are also on average making significantly more progress during high school than pupils nationally.
The borough's average point score per student at
post 16 was above the average for London West but just below the
national average in 2006/2007.
