Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Figures for attainment in English and maths at Heron Cross primary school, Stoke-on-Trent, featured in an article in yesterday's edition, incorrectly showed that it as among the worst primary schools in England.
The figures related to the speech and language unit attached to the school. Test results for the primary school, which has shown great improvements in recent years, placed it much higher in the league tables.
The figures for Green Park Combined School, Milton Key-nes, were also incorrect. The attainment figure for science should have been 89 per cent but was omitted and instead replaced by the school's ranking. The school is, in fact, ranked number three in the area.
Science results for four other Milton Keynes schools were also omitted and their rank transposed into the science column: Drayton Park Combined, Lavendon Combined, Water Hall Combined and Watling Way Middle. Watling Way should not have been listed in the lowest-scoring 10 schools.
We would like to apologise to those readers who were unable to find results from their own area in the paper they received. This was due to distribution problems.
