St Wilfrid’s is delighted to report that the DCFS has placed the school in the top 20% of schools nationally in terms of ‘Value Added’. This is a measure which takes in to account the academic levels of achievement that students enter the school with judged against their actual attainment in Yr 11 (i.e. GCSEs & equivalent). In short it is a measure of student progress. This is a critical measure of a school’s effectiveness as it describes the school’s impact, including student progress in English & Maths, throughout a child’s learning career at the school.
