Understanding our results
The government has changed the way that it judges the performance of schools. It no longer uses the percentage of students who have gained five A*-C grades but four other measures:
1. A “Progress 8” score. This shows how well students have progressed in the school since they came in from their primary school, compared to pupils in other schools who got similar results at the end of primary school. A positive score is good and a zero score is the average for schools nationally. For example, a score of 0.5 would mean that, taken together, each student in each subject did half a grade better than the average of all schools.
2. An “Attainment 8” score. This measures how well students perform across their best 8 subjects, including English, mathematics, 3 English Baccalaureate subjects and 3 other subjects. English Baccalaureate subjects include sciences, humanities and languages.
3. The percentage of pupils who achieved grade 5 and above in both English and mathematics. We have also included the percentage of pupils who achieved grade 4 and above in both English and mathematics in the table above for 2022.
4. In 2018, a new measure called the EBACC Average Point Score was introduced. This new measure gives an average point score across the 5 pillars of the EBACC, for all students in the school.
