Value Added

As a fully inclusive school, we use value-added to track the progress of our examination cohorts. Value Added takes account of expected and actual attainment data where each student started from and their progress. Read more about Safa Community School Value Added.

Growth over time is a true reflection of a school. Over the past 4 years, SCS grades have continued to rise. Data shows that in 2021 the overall value added score was 1.79 grades per student. Through the dedication and expertise of staff and systems, our Value Added has risen to +2.0 grades in 2022.

Hello, I’m a teacher.

“Inclusive of academic interventions, mentoring, and high-quality learning and teaching, as a cohort, we have seen a staggering 30% rise in the number of 9-7 grades over the past 4 years.

We are overwhelmed with the success of our students in 2022. As a school, we have surpassed the grades attained in previous years. As a fully inclusive school, we celebrate success across the full spectrum of grades. Our Level 3 students have exceeded their aspirational targets demonstrating ‘outstanding progress’. In addition, a number of our MAGT (more able, gifted and talented) students have achieved all grade 9’s across all subjects.”

“I am delighted that the hard work and effort of our SCS students during a very difficult two years has resulted in a phenomenal set of results for our school community. With various political agendas related to perceived grade inflation in previous years; we know that examination boards have done their very best to close the gap. For our students to achieve these grades, under these circumstances, is a testament to their resilience and hard work, as well as the work of our teaching staff, who have continued to go above and beyond for our SCS students. Today is not about percentages and figures, it is about sharing in the success of each individual with their families. A real ‘Proud to be Purple’ day.

Hello, I’m a teacher.

“We are so proud to see a large group of our homegrown students, many of whom have been with us since primary school, achieve such fabulous results. As a cohort of students, we have seen how hard they have worked over the last two years, growing into mature students who have now created many opportunities for themselves as they enter the sixth form.”

“This cohort of Year 11 students are very special as they are the first set of students to have received all of their secondary education at Safa Community School, and I am very proud to have been working alongside these students since Year 7. Finally, our students were given the opportunity to showcase their abilities in official written examinations, and their outstanding achievements in the GCSEs and BTECs deserve to be celebrated today. The hard work, dedication and determination of all our students and staff have not gone unnoticed and should be acknowledged, driving standards, progress and attainment beyond our expectations as a school.”

“As students enter the 6th Form at Safa College, they have an amazing experience to look forward to. The 6th Form experience will continue to develop, and the change of pace due to the move into a purpose-built learning space will no doubt facilitate this. The REACH programme will evolve with an increased focus on both internships within the local community and the introduction of even more opportunities to engage in community service. The Hub on the ground floor will become home to guest speakers and university visits, allowing our students to further develop their skills as lifelong learners who will be able to navigate the world of work with ease and ensure they continue to value a work-life balance.”
