School and College Performance Tables

The latest Department for Education performance tables for our school can be found by visiting the Department for Education website: Allerton Grange performance tables. This includes data on GCSEs and 16-18 study.

Progress 8 and Attainment 8

Progress 8 and Attainment 8 are based on students’ performance in eight qualifications. These are English and Maths, up to three subjects from the Ebacc list, and students’ three highest scores from a range of other qualifications, including GCSEs and approved non-GCSEs. English and Maths are given double weighting to reflect their importance.

The English Baccalaureate, or EBacc, is a measure of how many students achieve a good GCSE pass in six core academic subjects: English, maths, history or geography, combined science (which counts as two passes) and a language. In addition, students must take both English language and literature, although they only need a grade 5+ (new GCSEs) in one of them.

Progress 8 score: -0.04* (September 2019)
(latest Department for Education data, to be revised as further information becomes available)

Attainment 8 score: 43.1 (September 2019)

(NB: Other students left before the census but this was their intention as they wanted apprenticeships and only came back as a back-up until this training was secure.)
60% compared to last year’s 64% (NB: This figure is not a true retention figure as it includes the 1 year Access students and most of these students leave after this 1 year course.)

GCSE Grading 

Ofqual introduced a new grading structure from 2017 for English and Maths, with other subjects following from 2018. Grades are awarded from 1 to 9 rather than the old A* - G system. Although they are not directly equivalent, grade 4 and above is equal to grade C and above, the widely used benchmark for further education providers and employers. Under the new structure, it is more difficult to achieve the highest grade of 9 which now includes some work that was previously taught at A Level.
