Student Achievement

At Eltham North Primary School we acknowledge that continuous improvement cannot take place without a unity of purpose and collaboration within our school community. The information we gather each year through monitoring and evaluating our practices, tracking student achievement and studying educational research has helped us to create a process for insightful curriculum development.

Eltham North Primary School is a high achieving school. In all of our results, we perform well ahead of the state average and frequently achieve well above local schools. We are always mindful of knowing our children. Knowing them as people and knowing them as students. We use our assessment to prioritise the support they need to reach their potential. The information we gather each year through monitoring and evaluating our practices, tracking student achievement and studying educational research has helped us to create a process for insightful curriculum development.

Within this consistently strong performance pattern some indicators reveal where future improvement can be achieved. These are identified in the following discussion and summarised at the end of this section.

A deeper look at student achievement results are available in the Policies and Reports area of our website.

Student Achievement over the review period:  Teacher assessments against the (reading, writing, speaking and listening, number and mathematics) and NAPLAN data (reading, writing, spelling, number and mathematics) indicate that Eltham North students performed above Statewide benchmarks across all year levels.

The provision of support programs in Literacy and Numeracy are accessible for students with identified learning needs and specific tutoring clearly value added to student performance results

Parent and student opinion survey results reflect a positive shift in opinion of student performance

Teacher Assessments:  Student achievement at all year levels combined was positive. Thepattern of reducing the tail at the lower end of the achievement scale is consistently positive in trend data. A focus for the coming year will be to continue to shift upwards all cohort band groups of students. i.e. lower, mid range and upper cohort
