Eastbury is Closing the Achievement Gap
We are delighted to report that we have reduced The Achievement Gap* for our 11 students in receipt of the Pupil Premium in 2011/12. The targeted spending of our additional funding is having a demonstrable impact on student achievement in all year groups.

Students in receipt of the Pupil Premium at Eastbury achieved 60 % 5 A*-C  GCSEs (including English and Maths) which is 25% points above the National Average of 34.6% in 2011; and a big improvement on our own results in previous years.

The National Achievement Gap was 27% in 2011 and at Eastbury it has reduced to 10% (from 21% in 2011). We are striving to ensure the Achievement Gap is 0%.

(* The Achievement Gap is the difference in performance between children from low-income families (Free School Meal / FSM) and children in care (Looked After Children / LAC compared to that of their peers in public examinations (GCSEs). Nationally, FSM / LAC children are not performing as well as their peers in GCSEs.
At Eastbury we are committed to ensure all students, regardless of family background, achieve to the highest standards . Our mission ‘Getting the best from and for all our learners’ is fast becoming a reality).
