with the local state sector achieveing a five-point rise at GCSE
At GCSE the proportion of students achieving five or more higher grades, including English and maths, was 46.9 per cent. This compares with 41.8 per cent in 2006 and is above the national average of 46.7 per cent.
Three local schools – Battersea Technology College, Chestnut Grove and Southfields - are in the top five per cent in the country for their all-round effectiveness.
Over the last three years results at Battersea Technology College have risen by 21 points in the A-C grades. Chestnut Grove and Southfields recorded a 19 point improvement over this period while other schools making good progress were Ernest Bevin (up 13 points), Elliott (up 11 points) and Salesian (up 7 points).
The effectiveness rating includes the Government's 'contextual value added' measure (CVA). This rates schools' performance against a number of social factors including deprivation and pupil mobility. This ranking, which links to students' progress between ages 11 and 16, places Wandsworth in the top ten authorities in the country.
The highest score in the 2007 results was achieved by Graveney where 82 per cent of students obtained five or more A-C passes. At Burntwood the success rate was 63 per cent and 59 per cent at the Ashcroft Academy.
Executive member for children's services Kathy Tracey said:
"The all-round picture is highly encouraging with eight of the ten local schools delivering better results than in the previous year. It means that across the borough the success rate at GCSE is ahead of the national average.
"The performance of Graveney stands out while those schools that have come out well in the value added scores also deserves immense credit. This measure shows just how hard schools are working to help all students achieve their potential."
