Sticking on the ‘narrowing the gap’ agenda I created a poster for the staffroom and staff work areas. Again, help yourself. The resoultion is should be sufficient for an A4 poster. The quote is adapted from the most recent DFE Statistical First Release ‘GCSE and equivalent attainment by pupil characteristics in England 2011-12.’
The gap between the percentage of girls and boys achieving 5 or more GCSEs at grade A* to C or equivalent including English and mathematics GCSEs or iGCSEs is 9.5 percentage points, with 63.6 per cent of girls achieving this indicator compared to 54.2 per cent of boys. The gap has widened by 1.4 percentage points since 2007/08. However, when looking in more detail at the year on year trends, the gap initially narrowed and then remained relatively stable before widening by 2.2 percentage points between 2010/11 and 2011/12, due to an increase of 1.8 percentage points for girls but a decrease of 0.4 percentage points for boys. – GCSE and equivalent attainment by pupil characteristics in England 2011-12
