1. Summary
1.1 This report presents GCSE results in religious education in 2005-6
1.2 This paper supports the Corporate Strategy (maximising well being) through the improvement of curriculum provision in religious education and the raising of standards
2 Background
2.1 Candidates for Full Course GCSE have increased by over 200 compared to 2005 and this represents an increase in both boy and girl candidates but especially in girls.
2.2 Candidates for Short Course GCSE have decreased by just under 400 compared to 2005. There is still parity of boys and girls entered.
2.3 Full Course results indicate that the performance of both boys' and girls' A*-C has decreased since last year from 76% to 72% overall. Girls continue to outperform boys.
2.4 Short Course results indicate that an improvement has occurred in A*-C passes, compared to 2004-5, for both boys and girls. Girls still outperform boys but by a smaller margin than in 2005.
2.5 Residuals for the Full Course indicate that there was a lower residual both for boys and girls in Hampshire in 2006 compared with 2005. Nevertheless, despite an improvement in National residual the adjusted LA residual is still positive.
2.6 Residuals for the Short Course indicate very high positive residuals in Hampshire against national residuals with girls performing considerably better than boys against the national subject residual.
2.7 There are plans to present SACRE with impact assessment data in the future in relation to the performance in RE of ethnic minority and looked after children.
