Islington Tribune - by PETER GRUNER

Schools performances improve

SCHOOL’S in Islington are on the up, as test results published by the ­government this week show.
Islington pupil results at age 14 (key stage 3) have improved by over 10 per cent – more than double the national rate over the past five years.
The improvements come in all three subjects formally tested – English, mathematics and science.
Since 2003, the year in which testing at key stage 3 was introduced, Islington schools have progressed.
Improvement across all subject areas is greater than 10 per cent in seven of the borough’s nine secondary schools, and in two schools – ­Islington Green and St Aloysius – the figure has risen to above 15 per cent.
Councillor Ursula Woolley, ­executive member for children and young people, added: “Clearly, the students have worked hard to achieve these very pleasing results.
“Credit must also go to all involved with supporting the education of our young people – staff in schools, ­parents, governors, and advisory and support staff.”
