Progress 8
Progress 8 is a new secondary accountability measure aimed at measuring the progress of students across a selected set of 8 subjects. It is a type of value added measure, meaning that students’ results are compared to the actual achievements of other pupils with the same prior attainment.
The Academy’s Progress 8 is the average of the students’ Progress 8 results.
Attainment 8
Attainment 8 is a measure of a student’s average grade across a set suite of eight subjects. Grades will be measured on a 1-8 point score scale. On this new scale, 1 is equivalent to a Grade G GCSE. An increase in one point will represent an increase of one GCSE grade up to 8, which is equivalent to an A* GCSE.
The Academy’s Attainment 8 is the average of the students’ Attainment 8 results.
Baccalaureate
English Baccalaureate is the percentage of students who attained C or above in English, Maths, Science, History or Geography and French or German.
