Schools in Hackney have been making progress
|
Hackney in London, whose education service is now being run by a trust, is at the bottom of the primary school results tables - again.
Hackney is the worst-performing local education authority (LEA) - although results in its schools did improve, from an average aggregate score of 197 to 210.
Schools in another London borough, Southwark, also averaged 210 but had a slightly better average points score.
At the top for the second year running is Richmond upon Thames, where the average was 262 - down one point from last year.
Of the 148 main authorities, Hartlepool improved the most - up 17 points, from 224 to 241, closely followed by Southampton (up 16 to 231).
How they compare
The biggest fallers were Rutland and Derby, which each dropped seven points to 250 and 224 respectively.
