Footnotes

  1. Gateshead district boundary was changed in 2014. The local authority district code was changed from E08000020 to E08000037 to reflect this.
  2. Progress 8 data is not being published using 2019/20 data because of the cancellation of GCSE exams. Calculating Progress 8 has an element of modelling (estimating the average Attainment 8 for pupils in similar prior Attainment groups) and with the lack of exam data, the Progress 8 measure is not meaningful as a measure of Progress for 2020.
  3. Welwyn Hatfield district boundary was changed in 2013. The local authority district code was changed from E07000104 to E07000241 to reflect this.
  4. East Hertfordshire district boundary was changed in 2014. The local authority district code was changed from E07000097 to E07000242 to reflect this.
  5. Explore education statistics (EES) glossary can be found at https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/glossary
  6. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting school closures, the summer exam series was cancelled in 2020. Pupils scheduled to sit GCSE exams in 2020 were awarded either a centre assessment grade submitted by their teachers or their calculated grade using a model developed by Ofqual - whichever was the higher of the two. Due to the changed awarding process for GCSE grades it is recommended that year on year comparisons are not made. For further information: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-cancellation-of-gcses-as-and-a-levels-in-2020/coronavirus-covid-19-cancellation-of-gcses-as-and-a-levels-in-2020 
  7. Northumberland district boundary was changed in 2014. The local authority district code was changed from E06000048 to E06000057 to reflect this.
  8. : = When data is unavailable for other reasons
  9. State-funded mainstream schools include local authority maintained mainstream, academies, free schools, city technology colleges and further education colleges with provision for 14 to 16 year-olds. They exclude state-funded special schools, independent schools, independent special schools, non-maintained special schools, hospital schools, pupil referral units and alternative provision. Alternative provision includes academy and free school alternative provision.
  10. A Progress 8 score of 1.0 means pupils in the group make on average approximately a grade more Progress than the national average; a score of -0.5 means they make on average approximately half a grade less Progress than average. Progress 8 scores should be interpreted alongside the associated confidence intervals. If the lower bound of the confidence interval is greater than zero, it can be interpreted as meaning that the group achieves greater than average Progress compared to pupils in mainstream schools nationally and that this is statistically significant. If the upper bound is negative, this means that the group achieves lower than average Progress compared to pupils in mainstream schools nationally and that this is statistically significant.
  11. The residency of 900 pupils living in England in 2019/20 is unknown due to missing or invalid postcode information. Pupils not resident in England and pupils with missing or invalid postcode information are excluded from the figures in presented.
  12. EBacc average point score (Ebacc APS) was introduced as a headline measure in 2018 and replaced the previous threshold 'EBacc Attainment' measure. EBacc APS measures pupils’ point scores across the five pillars of the EBacc. This ensures the Attainment of all pupils is recognised, not just those at particular grade boundaries, encouraging schools to enter pupils of all abilities, and support them to achieve their full potential. Threshold measures are included for completeness and are reported as a percentage of pupils at the end of key stage 4. The two threshold measures are: i) proportion of pupils achieving grade 5/C or above, ii) proportion of pupils achieving a grade 4/C or above respectively.
  13. From 2014/15, disadvantaged pupils include pupils known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM) in any spring, autumn, summer, alternative provision or pupil referral unit census from year 6 to year 11 or are looked after children for at least one day or are adopted from care. For 2013/14 and earlier years, they include pupils known to be eligible for FSM in any spring, autumn, summer, alternative provision or pupil referral unit census from year 6 to year 11 or are looked after children.
  14. The Secondary accountability measures guidance can be found alongside the KS4 data and metadata files under 'Download associated files'.
  15. Reformed GCSEs in English and mathematics were taught from September 2015, with the first examinations taking place in Summer 2017. Reformed GCSEs in other subjects were firstly phased in for teaching from September 2016, continued into 2017 and a very small number in 2018, 2019, and 2020. As they were introduced, only the newly reformed GCSEs counted in secondary school performance measures (and tables when published). From 2020, all GCSEs in England have been reformed and use the new 9 to 1 grading system (rather than A*-G) . Year on year comparisons will be limited until these qualifications are consistently included from 2020 onwards. However, results for 2020 are not comparable with earlier years due to the cancellation of exams (due to COVID-19) and the awarding of GCSE grades via centre assessment grades.
  16. St Albans district boundary was changed in 2013. The local authority district code was changed from E07000100 to E07000240 to reflect this.
  17. z = When an observation is not applicable
  18. Some zero percentages may represent small numbers due to rounding.
  19. EBacc entry and Attainment are shown as the percentage of pupils at the end of key stage 4. Ebacc thresholds are included for transparency and comparability. Prior to 2015/16, where the English language and English literature option was chosen in EBacc English, exams in both had to be taken and a C grade or above achieved in English language. In 2015/16, to meet the English requirement of the EBacc, exams in both had to be taken and a C grade or above achieved in either English language or English literature. In 2016/17, the definition of 'percentage achieving the English Baccalaureate' has changed to 'the proportion of pupils achieving the Ebacc which included a grade 5 or above in English and mathematics, and grade C or above in unreformed subjects' following the introduction of the reformed 9 to 1 GCSEs in English and mathematics. The 9-4 grade shows pupils who achieved a grade 4 or above in English and mathematics, and a grade C in unreformed subjects. In 2017/18, EBacc APS provides the headline EBacc measure but the 9-5 EBacc threshold is the proportion of pupils achieving the Ebacc which included a grade 5 or above in reformed subjects, and grade C or above in unreformed subjects. Most of the Ebacc subjects were reformed in 2017/18 and so caution should be taken in comparing to 2016/17 with only reformed English and maths. For the 9-4 EBacc threshold is the proportion of pupils achieving the Ebacc which included a grade 4 or above in reformed subjects, and grade C or above in unreformed subjects.
  20. The English Baccalaureate element includes the three highest point scores from any of the English Baccalaureate qualifications in science subjects, computer science, history, geography, and languages.
  21. From 2013/14 EBacc sciences includes computer science. From 2018 GCSEs in core, additional and further additional science are no longer eligible to count. Sciences includes the double award GCSE in combined science, and single GCSEs in biology, chemistry, physics and computer science.
  22. Percentage of pupils achieving grades 5 or above in English and mathematics measures are calculated as a percentage of all pupils at the end of key stage 4. Prior to 2015/16, where the English language and English literature option was chosen in English, exams in both had to be taken and a C grade or above achieved in English language. From 2015/16, to meet the English requirement of the A*-C in English and maths Attainment measure, a C in either English language or English literature counted and there was no requirement to take both. From 2017, following the introduction of the reformed 9 to 1 GCSEs in English, a grade 5 or above in either English language or English literature counts and there remains no requirement to take both. The 9-4 measure shows pupils who achieved a grade 4 or above in either English language or English literature and maths and is shown alongside the headline measure for transparency and comparability.
  23. Stevenage district boundary was changed in 2014. The local authority district code was changed from E07000101 to E07000243 to reflect this.
  24. Attainment 8 and Progress 8 are part of the secondary accountability system that was implemented for all schools from 2016. Attainment 8 measures pupils’ Attainment across 8 qualifications including maths, English, three ebacc qualifications and three further GCSE or non-GCSE qualifications. From 2018, Attainment 8 had a maximum point score of 90, compared to a maximum of 87 in 2017 and 80 in 2016. This helped to minimise fluctuations in the average Attainment 8 scores following the phased introduction of 9-1 reformed GCSEs. These differences should be considered when comparing Attainment 8 scores between 2016-2019. In 2020, the majority of Attainment 8 scores are based on qualifications that were awarded via centre assessment grades rather than exams, so they are likely to be higher due to this and are not comparable to previous years.
  25. Disadvantaged all other includes pupils for whom free school meal eligibility, Special Educational Needs status (SEN provision) or SEN primary need could not be determined.
  26. Includes entries and achievements by these pupils in previous academic years.
  27. Figures not present in the data means there are no pupils at the end of key stage 4 for this breakdown.
  28. Data has been provided based on both the pupil’s location and the school’s location. At local authority level there may be differences in the totals because of a small number of schools where the school is maintained by a different local authority to the one in which they are located.
