New tool breaks down KS 4 Progress 8 outcomes by feeder primary schools
A new online tool allows users to access a breakdown of Progress 8 scores by primary school.
The tool, made available to FFT Aspire users, would allow secondary schools to break down the KS4 outcomes of groups of pupils by feeder school and to see the impact different groups have on Progress 8 outcomes.
Writing for Education DataLab, FFT chief statistician Dave Thomson said “Looking at Attainment 8 CVA for the last three years and taking account of secondary school attended, we found around 30 feeder primary schools with a score of -1 or lower, indicating that pupils achieved at least one grade below expectation per subject on average. There were none with a score of +1 or higher.”
The DfE has made plans to cap the Progress 8 scores of pupils with anomalously large scores.
