Colleagues,
As a useful corrective to last week's annual furore about Performance
Tables for Primary Schools, and whether they mean anything, may I recommend
a look at
http://www.dfes.gov.uk/performancetables/vap_02.shtml
This is the "Value Added" project, carried out in nearly 500 schools,
which next year will be applied to all 14,643 English primary schools.
Comments are invited by Jan 16th 2003...
See also the TES of 6/12/02, page 6.
Cheers John Makin
