Summary
A request was made for Value Added KS1-2 progress data and SSRE assessment definitions for Isle of Man primary schools over the last five years. The Department of Education disclosed that most schools do not collate the specific 'more than 6 sub levels' progress data, though limited statistics were provided for Andreas, Ballasalla, and Bunscoill Ghaelgagh.
Key Facts
- The majority of primary schools do not collate data on the percentage of children making more than 6 sub levels of progress.
- Average number of levels of progress from KS1 to KS2 is not collated by any of the listed schools.
- Bunscoill Ghaelgagh lacks Reading, Writing, and Speaking & Listening data for KS1 to KS2 as English lessons do not start until KS2.
- Data for Andreas school was available for years 2016, 2017, and 2018, but not for 2014 or 2015.
- Ballasalla data for 2017 and 2018 was not broken down into the specific 'more than 6 sub levels' category requested.

Original Request
In relation to the last 5 full academic years for each Island primary school please advise: The percentage of children who made more than 6 sub levels of progress (so, not including those who made 6 sub levels, only those who made more than that) and the average number of levels of progress made by pupils in each school from completion of KS1 to completion of KS2 in each of the following subjects: Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening, Mathematics and Science. Additionally, for each school what was the cohort size to which the percentage data requested relates to e.g. 66% of 18 pupils. In relation to allied SSRE assessments (classified as Inspirational, Very Effective, Effective and Not Yet Effective) a typical definition will be 'x% of pupils make 6 or more sub levels of progress over KS2 in most of the core subjects'. 'Most' is defined as any percentage above 50%. Please clarify what the core subjects are. For example, are Reading, Writing and Speaking & Listening classed as a core subjects in their own right or is the data for these aggregated to give an overall literacy figure? Presumably mathematics and science are classed as core subjects?

Dear ###
We write further to your request which was received on 11 March 2019 and which states:
"In relation to the last 5 full academic years for each Island primary school please advise: The percentage of children who made more than 6 sub levels of progress (so, not including those who made 6 sub levels, only those who made more than that) and the average number of levels of progress made by pupils in each school from completion of KS1 to completion of KS2 in each of the following subjects: Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening, Mathematics and Science. Additionally, for each school what was the cohort size to which the percentage data requested relates to e.g. 66% of 18 pupils. In relation to allied SSRE assessments (classified as Inspirational, Very Effective, Effective and Not Yet Effective) a typical definition will be 'x% of pupils make 6 or more sub levels of progress over KS2 in most of the core subjects'. 'Most' is defined as any percentage above 50%. Please clarify what the core subjects are. For example, are Reading, Writing and Speaking & Listening classed as a core subjects in their own right or is the data for these aggregated to give an overall literacy figure? Presumably mathematics and science are classed as core subjects?"
The percentage of children who made more than 6 sub levels of progress I have enclosed copies of the information that is held by the primary schools. While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Department does not hold or cannot, after taking reasonable steps to do so, find some of the information that you have requested.

Where the data is not held in the format that has been requested section 8 (3) of the Freedom of Information Act 2015 states;
Nothing in this Act requires a public authority to – (a) Create or derive information from information that it holds; (b) Undertake research into, or analysis of, information that it holds.
