Progress 8 is a type of value added measure which compares pupils’ key stage 4 results to those of other pupils nationally with similar prior attainment from their KS2 results. The significant improvement in Progress 8 at St Andrew's is excellent: in 2019 our Progress 8 was -0.35, up from -0.45 in 2018 which was significantly improved from -0.66 in 2017.
Progress 8 data for summer 2022 is -0.03. This clearly demonstrates the rapid upward journey on which the school is.
Attainment 8 is the total points allocated according to grades the pupil achieves across 8 qualifications including mathematics (double weighted) and English (double weighted), 3 further qualifications that count in the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) measure and 3 further qualifications subjects that are added together to give the Attainment 8 score.
