Understanding School Performance Measures
To help parents make sense of school performance data, here’s a quick guide to three key terms. These measures together give a balanced picture of both pupil achievement and school impact.
Progress 8 measures improvement and Attainment 8 measures performance.
The UK measure of how well a secondary school helps its pupils learn between the end of primary school and their GCSEs.
Progress 8 looks at how much progress each pupil made compared to other pupils across the country who started at the same academic level.
How the score works:
0 score → Pupils made average progress compared to similar pupils nationally.
Positive score (+0.3) → Pupils made more progress than expected.
Negative score (–0.2) → Pupils made less progress than expected.
“Entering the EBacc” means a pupil has chosen and been entered to take GCSEs in all the subjects that make up the English Baccalaureate (EBacc).
To be counted as entering the EBacc, a pupil must be taking GCSEs in:
- English
- Maths
- Science (combined or separate sciences)
- A humanities subject (Geography or History)
- A language (French, Spanish or German)
A measure of the average GCSE achievement of pupils in eight key subjects.
It shows how well pupils performed in their exams, rather than how much progress they made.
The eight subjects are grouped into three categories:
- English and Maths (Counted double because they are core subjects)
- EBacc subjects Sciences, geography, history, and languages
- Open subjects Any other approved GCSEs or qualifications
Each grade is given a points score (A Grade 9 has more points than a Grade 4), and these points are added up to give a pupil’s total Attainment 8 score.
