Ensuring children and young people are healthy and ready to learn
Young parents and children registrations and participation continues to increase across our Children’s centres month on month, with latest Ofsted judgement as 100% good or outstanding during 2012, higher than the national average of 70%, with 1 centre outstanding for capacity for sustained improvement, 2 for safeguarding and 3 for quality of provision.
Children ready for school
In 2012, following a four year period of stagnated performance, the proportion of pupils achieving a good level of development in the Early Years Foundation Stage was 68% in Derbyshire. This represents almost a 7% increase in performance compared to last year. Only High Peak showed a slight decline from last year but performance was still above national performance.
