Student Achievement Results

2010 Achievement Report to Parents

In our annual planning over the past few years we have an ongoing target to improve students literacy achievement across the school. In 2010 it was decided that vocabulary would be the aspect of reading and writing we would concentrate on. This was identified as one of the gaps in literacy learning for our students. The following statistics show the shift made in vocabulary achievement from March to November 2010 in a reading test. 

Month	Below Expectation	At Expectation	Above Expectation
March 2010	20%	39%	41%
November 2010	4%	39%	57%

It is especially heartening that students achieving below the expectation were reduced by 16% and that student achieving above the expectation increased by 16% 

In the same test the results showed 94% of our Year 1 to 3’s and 83% of our Year 4 to 8 students are now reading at or above the expectation so we have good overall reading results at Saint Paul’s at the end of 2010.  

All the significant groups such as Maori, Boys and Girls are showing results consistent with the group.
