Explanation of Key Measures

Attainment 8

This is a measure of the total attainment points that a student achieves across a suite of 8 qualifications.  A number of criteria / conditions exist about how this figure is calculated, but in essence, it’s a measure of how well students attain in their 8 ‘best’ qualifications.

Progress 8

This is the main headline measure by which schools are ranked, and is published in the secondary school performance tables.  Progress 8 is a ‘value added’ measure; it compares a student’s Attainment 8 score with the Attainment 8 score for students across the country with a similar KS2 score. 0 is (approximately) the national average for Progress 8. A positive score indicates that, on average, students have made better than average progress.

Note: for GCSE exams in 2025 and 2026, no Progress 8 figures will be calculated as students in these year groups did not complete KS2 exams due to the Covid Pandemic.

English & Maths 4+ / 5+

This indicates the percentage of students who have achieved at least a Grade 4 (Standard Pass) or a Grade 5 (Strong Pass) in both English (Language / Literature) and Maths.

Destination Measures

This shows the percentage of students who entered and sustained (for at least six months) education, employment, or an apprenticeship.
