"Extraordinary Improvement" is being celebrated across one of North Yorkshire’s Academy Trusts
Coast and Vale Learning Trust is celebrating the "extraordinary" rise in outcomes for pupils in its three secondary schools.
The Trust comprises Scalby School, Filey School and Lady Lumley’s School as well as Scarborough UTC, Newby and Scalby Primary School and Friarage Community Primary School.
In the recent GCSE results, Filey, Lady Lumley’s and Scalby School have seen a huge increase in the proportion of pupils gaining the higher level, and coveted grade 5 in English and Maths. Filey increased by 9% and Lady Lumley’s (already well above the national average) by a further 10%. Scalby, also already well above national average, increased by a further 6%. This was despite the major disruption earlier in the year caused by RAAC and classrooms being unavailable for students.
Paul Tarn, CEO of Coast and Vale Trust, said,
“I am delighted to see such phenomenal improvement.
The percentage of children passing both English and Maths at Filey is now 62%, 78% at Lady Lumley’s and 77% at Scalby.
The proportion gaining the higher grade 5 combined is 62% at Lady Lumley’s and 64% at Scalby.
To put that in context, the national average will probably be about 47%.
I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to staff and congratulations to our students at all three of our secondary schools.”
John Riby, Trust Chair said,
“The pupils of the Coast and Vale region deserve being offered the highest standard of education. These results underpin our vision for the continuing transformation of education across the region.
In partnership with Delta Academy Trust and the Education Exchange we aim to continue our journey of improvement. We will engage, in the spirit of collaboration and partnership with all our area’s schools and academies.
I view these latest results as a vindication of our new drive and determination to support every pupil and student. Our vigorous focus on standards is simply the start and we would invite others to join our educational resurgence, either formally, as members of our Trust, or as partners for the benefit of all pupils and staff.
The Trust believes that in driving up educational standards it will benefit local children and provide them with the skills and knowledge to progress in life. Through this drive it will also help local businesses employ qualified youngsters and be a positive marker for those families who are contemplating moving to the area.”
