MOST Ribble Valley prima­ ry schools did better than the national average in ensuring th a t their pupils make good progress, accord­ ing to the la te s t “league


tables”. Printed below is a school


achievement and attainment table for Ribble Valley primary schools in 2004. Published by the Govern­


ment’s Department for Educa­ tion and Skills, the tables are designed to provide information on the performance of pupils in local primary schools. They enable comparison


between schools in a particular area and against regional and national averages. Reading the table from the


left, the columns show the num­ ber of pupils at the school and then the number of pupils eligi­ ble to sit the National Curricu­ lum tests for 11-year-olds, called the Key Stage 2 tests. . For schools with less than 10


pupils sitting Key Stage 2 tests, results are not published in the table as the sample is considered too small. For other schools, the follow­

ing three tables show the per­ centage of pupils who sat the tests and achieved the expected level (Level 4) in English, maths and science. Finally, the “Value Added”


measure gives an indication of how pupils at a school have pro­ gressed from taking their Key Stage 1 test at age seven to their Key Stage 2 test at age 11. 'These value added scores are shown as a measure based


around 100. Scores above 100 represent schools where pupils, on average, made more progress than similar schools nationally, while scores below 100 represent schools where pupils made, on average, less progress. To allow comparison in the


three key subjects, the national average percentage scores at Key Stage 2 are English 78%,maths 74% and science 86%. The Lancashire average scores


are English 79%, maths 77% and science 87%. Lancashire County Council's


Cabinet Member for Education, County Coun. Alan Whittaker, said: "I am delighted that Lan­ cashire's Primary Schools are continuing to achieve great results at Key Stage 2. "Also the Lancashire average


percentage has risen in English and mathematics, while it has stayed the same in science. "The national average has


actually shotvn a decline in sci­ ence and 1 am sure we can make great progress in that subject next year. "These results could only be


achieved thanks to the quality of schools in Lancashire and the teachers who strive so hard for their pupils to do well. “We also have fantastic pupils


across the county who are dedi­ cated to learning and doing well." Lancashire Education


Authority is also the highest among its 11 statistical neigh­ bours in the value added mea­ sure from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2. The national average is 100 and Lancashire's is 100.2.

THE INCREDIBLES (U); at Stage and Screen; from tomorrow


THE Grand may be gone, at least as a cine­ ma, but Clitheroe film buffs now have a new and improved venue, Stage and Screen, a t the St Mary’s Centre, in Church Street. Relocating the cinema


is p ar t of a long-term development of the venue as a multi-purpose arts centre for the Ribble Val­ ley, with the silver screen as one of its core attrac­ tions. Currently showing is a


new animated - or rather, computer-generated - fea­ ture that is sure to delight kids of all ages this Christ­ mas. “The Incredibles” puts


an entertaining 21st Cen­ tury twist on the cult of the cartoon superhero, with some genuinely funny asides. On the way to his wed­


ding, Bob Parr is having an average day - he saves a cat from a tree, foils two

Frankie and Johnny’


the developing relationship is funny and sometimes poignant. Playing Johnny is Chris Gascoyne, “Coronation Street’s” Peter Barlow, and Frankie is played by his real-life partner, Caroline Harding. Whether this makes it easier or hard­


er for them I cannot tell, but both hold the audience’s attention throughout, no mean feat when neither is on or off stage for more than a few seconds. Hannah Clake’s stage set gives a real


impression of a small apartment, skil­ fully lit by Thomas Weir. The use of evocative music can be


credited to Andy Smith. This is another success for the


Octagon and director Mark Babych. Next they have their Christmas produc­ tion of Roald Dahl’s “George’s Marvel­ lous Medicine”, which should equal their success last year with “The BFG”. For details of this and other forth­


coming productions at the Octagon, call the box office on 01204 520661.
