Student Learning
Ashby Primary School has achieved strong results in student learning: We achieved within the middle for 60% of Victorian Government schools. Our data from the National Assessment Program indicates success in the grade 3 areas of numeracy and reading achieving in the top 20%, and in grade 5 in the 60% with improvement required in the grade 5 area of numeracy. A continual focus on developing capabilities of our students has resulted in improved learning for students. The school has a strong focus on using assessment and diagnostic tools that help identify student starting points for learning, and teachers have developed more strategies to develop programs to support students to achieve their best learning. In 2011 the focus will be on learning intentions, tasks,success criteria and feedback and the instructional core in order to improve student learning.

What is a School Comparison? The School comparison is a way of comparing school performance that takes into account the different student intake characteristics of each school. A School comparison takes into account the schools academic intake, the socio-economic background of students, the number of Indigenous students, the number of non-English speaking and refugee students, the number of students with a disability, and the size and location of the school. The School comparison measures show that most schools are doing well and are achieving results that are similar to what we would estimate given the background characteristics of their students. Some schools are doing exceptionally well with the students they have, and have higher performance. Some schools have lower performance after taking into account their students characteristics these schools will receive targeted support to ensure that there is improvement. Looking at both the student outcomes and school comparisons provides important information about what a school is doing well and the areas that require further improvement. More information on school comparison performance measures can be found at: www.education.vic.gov.au/aboutschool/
What is the meaning of Data not available? For some schools, there are too few students to provide data. For other schools, there are no students at some levels, so school comparisons are not possible. Newly opened schools have only the latest year of data and no averages from previous years. The Department also recognises the unique circumstances of Specialist, Select Entry, English Language and Community Schools where school comparisons are not appropriate.
What is this school doing to improve? All schools have a plan to improve outcomes for their students. The What our school is doing statement provides a summary of this schools improvement plan.
