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: Progress 8 data for summer 2023 is -0.17, with provisional Progress 8 for 2024 (based on FFT provisional data) is +0.2. This clearly demonstrates the continuing upward trajectory of the school.  

​

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.  The Attainment 8 school was 40.9 in 2023, and provisionally 46.6 for 2024.

​​

The percentage of students entered for EBacc in 2024 was 21.5%, with an average points score of 2.85.  We continue to work towards increasing the percentage of students entered into the EBacc in line with government targets.
