pupil mobility

1 story · 1 council

Croydon Council is reviewing Key Stage 4 education outcomes, a discussion where pupil mobility can be a contributing factor.

In March 2026, Croydon's Scrutiny Children & Young People Sub-Committee discussed Key Stage 4 education outcomes, which a report said were lagging behind national and regional averages.

The report presented to the committee highlighted that while Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 2 results had improved, KS4 performance remained a concern for the council.

Pupil mobility refers to the rate at which students move between schools, either within a local authority or between different authorities.
