THERE were tales of outstanding individual successes revealed in new-look primary school league tables released this week, but the county's overall performance has stalled below tough government targets.
Two South Lakeland schools found themselves among the best in the country as this year's tables of pupils' results for the national curriculum tests sat by 11-year-olds gave a "value added" measure for the first time.
The score is designed to give a more rounded picture of a school's progress by comparing children's results in the English, maths and science tests sat at seven with those completed before they leave primary school.
See Education and Health section for full story, links and an guide to reading the tables.
