Research on record improvement

Categories: School News

Groundbreaking research which highlight the reasons behind how young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in Lambeth have gone on to achieve outstanding GCSE results, has been published by Lambeth Council.

The reports examine various factors behind the consistently high academic results enjoyed by pupils from four Lambeth secondary schools - La Retraite RC High School, Stockwell Park High School, Dunraven School, and St Martin-in-the-Fields High School.

The findings are published in a series of two research reports -'Outstanding Schools: A Study of Successful Practice' and 'Raising Achievement: Good Practice in Schools with Outstanding Leadership'.

The key criteria for the selection of the schools was a high proportion of pupils who are eligible for free school meals, an 'outstanding' grade in leadership in the most recent Ofsted inspections, and a high standard and sustained improvement of GCSE results over the past nine years.
