Attainment 8

The Progress 8 school performance measure is based on a student’s performance across eight subjects and incorporates an additional measure called Attainment 8. The eight subjects are as follows:

• A double weighted mathematics element that contains the point score of the pupil’s EBacc mathematics qualification, (two slots).
• An English element based on the highest point score in a pupil’s EBacc English Language or English Literature qualification. This is double weighted providing a pupil/student has taken both qualifications. This is different from the current situation where only the English Language qualification is counted (assuming that English Literature has been entered). In 2017, a combined English qualification can be included and double weighted, (two slots).
• An element which can include the three highest point scores from any of the following EBacc subjects: Science, Computer Science, History and Geography, and Languages EBacc qualifications. The qualifications can count in any combination and there is no requirement to take qualifications in each of the ‘pillars’ of the EBacc, (three slots).
• The remaining element contains the three highest point scores in any three other subjects, including English Language or Literature (if not counted above), further EBacc 66 qualifications, other GCSEs, or any other approved, high value academic or vocational qualifications, (three slots).

You can check to see if a subject is being included for the EBacc calculations by finding it in Tools > Examinations > Manage Performance Indicators. Find the QAN and open the details, you will see a series of tickboxes under EBacc subject.

 If a qualification has been added this year it’s likely that the tick box has not been correctly filled in as by default it is left blank when adding a new QN in the Manage Performance Indicators screen.

English Baccalaureate

Subjects
The English Baccalaureate qualification consists of separate achievements in five subject areas: English, Maths, Science, Languages and Humanities.

English Baccalaureate Rule for 2017:

• To count, either English Language or English Literature must be taken.
• A grade 5 or above must be achieved in English Language or English Literature.

The summary report shows the number and percentage of students entered for and achieving EBacc, the number and percentage of students achieving 9.00-5.00 or A*-C in the subject areas and the number and percentage of students achieving 9.00-1.00 or A*-G in all subject areas.

NOTE: In the English Baccalaureate qualification, a strong pass is considered at grade 5 and above for English and Maths only. A standard pass is considered at grade 4 and above for English and Maths only.

Students entered for English

Students achieving a strong pass in English
The achievement is the number and percentage of the cohort achieving a strong pass in English (grades 5 and above)

The achievement is the number and percentage of the cohort achieving a strong pass in Maths (grades 5 and above).

NOTE: For English and Maths, the percentage is of the cohort, not the number of entries as it is for the other subject areas.

Students entered for two Sciences
Students entered for two Sciences are those who have entered three out of four single Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science) or Science with Additional Science or Double Science.

Students achieving a standard pass in two Sciences
Students attaining two Sciences are those who have achieved a standard pass in at least two Sciences or in Science and Additional Science or in Double Science (grades C and above).

Students entered for a Language

Averages

Average number of qualifications per student
This is calculated by dividing the total number of examinations (GCSE and equivalent) taken by all candidates divided by the number of candidates. The total number of examinations has been determined using the equivalence between a GCSE and other qualifications.

The APS calculations are performed after discounting has taken place, so that each subject is included only once.

Average number of GCSEs per student
The total number of GCSEs taken by all students divided by the number of students.

APS per student capped at best 8 (this is a different measure from Progress 8)
The calculation is based on the best 8 scores achieved.

APS per student GCSEs only
GCSE, IGCSE and AS results are included in the measure.

APS per student uncapped
The calculation is based on all scores achieved.
