This table indicates pupils came with a gap and this has considerably closed in English, making nearly 2 levels of progress over the 3 years. Maths gap has increased slightly, however when looking deeper at the results it has been disproportionately affected by 3 extreme results and if they are taken out it would mean that Maths would have had eliminated the gap. Therefore we need to look more individually at the PPG and specifically on those who are not progressing at the same rate of the others.
