Gateacre tops DfE performance tables

Gateacre School has topped DfE performance tables in Liverpool for A-level and applied/vocational qualifications results.

Due to the hard work of staff and students, the school’s value added scores place it in the top 10% of all schools and colleges nationwide as well.

In education, value added is the progress measure the DfE use to describe the additional value schools bring to the learning outcomes of their students.

This measures the contribution a school makes to the learning of its students that in turn enables judgements to be made about schools’ effectiveness and their ability to add value in terms of pupil attainment.

Headteacher Mr J Roberts, said: “We are delighted these results reflect the high level of progress students make at Gateacre School.

“We are really proud of what we have achieved over the past year and being top of the table is down to the hard work of the pupils, parents/carers and staff here at Gateacre School.
