Good Practice
The Portsmouth 8 outcomes are:
Children should grow up:
1. having an equal say in any development - by increasing
involvement of users, children, young people and local adults in
the delivery of identified services by 5 per cent, by 2003/4. After
six years of the programme, involvement should increase by 10 per
cent.
2. healthy - 70 per cent of 5 year olds should have no dental
caries experience and, on average, 5-year-old children should have
no more than one decayed, missing or filled primary tooth.
3. having succeeded as far as they can at school - to reduce
unauthorised absence in primary schools to 0.9 per cent and to 1.5
per cent in secondary schools by 2003. To reduce it to 0.6 per cent
in primary schools and to 1.0 per cent in secondary schools by 2004.
To increase the percentage of pupils achieving Level 2+ at Key Stage
1 to 84.3 per cent in reading, 82 per cent in writing, and 89 per
cent in maths by 2003. To increase the percentage achieving Level
4+ at Key Stage 2 to 71.3 per cent in English, and 71.1per cent
in maths by 2003. To increase the percentage of pupils achieving
Level 4+ at Key Stage 2 to 74 per cent in English and 72.7 per cent
in maths by 2004.
4. having stayed out of trouble - to reduce unauthorised
absence in primary schools to 0.9 per cent and to 1.5 per cent in
secondary schools by 2003. To reduce it to 0.6 per cent in primary
schools and to 1.0 per cent in secondary schools by 2004. There
will be 80 less young offenders by 2005, 100 less if the PSA is
successful. There will be 30 less re-offenders by 2005, 40 less
if the PSA is successful. Youth crime and reconvictions will be
reduced by 6 per cent after 6 years of the programme.
5. living in a safe place - there will be 80 less young offenders
by 2005, 100 less if the PSA is successful. There will be 30 less
reoffenders by 2005, 40 less if the PSA is successful. Youth crime
and reconvictions will be reduced by 6 per cent after 6 years of
the programme.
6. having the opportunity to succeed in achieving their dreams.
7. emotionally secure and confident.
8. having facilities and opportunities to play safely.
