Interpreting a school’s progress scores

Individual pupil level progress scores are calculated in comparison to other pupils nationally. For all mainstream pupils nationally, the average progress score will be zero.

At St. Joseph’s:

Our pupils on average achieved 1.6 scaled score points higher than other pupils with similar prior attainment nationally in Reading. In Maths our pupils, on average, achieved 1.5 scaled score points higher.Our writing means they we achieved slightly lower than those with a similar prior attainment.

Progress measures: KS1 to KS2 / Progress Judgement
Reading progress score (confidence interval in brackets) / 1.6
(Zero being national average)
Writing progress score (confidence interval in brackets) / -0.1
(Zero being national average)
Maths progress score (confidence interval in brackets) / 1.5
(Zero being national average)

Children sitting key stage 2 tests this year were the first to be taught and assessed under the new national curriculum. The expected standard has been raised and the accountability framework for schools has also changed. These changes mean that the expected standard this year is higher and not comparable with the expected standard used in previous year’s statistics. It would therefore be incorrect and misleading to make direct comparisons showing changes over time.

For example, it is wrong to say that ‘the percentage of pupils achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics fell from 80% in 2015 to 53% in 2016’.

In looking over time, all users of the statistics can say at this stage is that ‘53% of pupils achieved the new expected standard in 2016 when being taught and assessed against the higher standards expected under the new curriculum. Under the previous system, 80% of pupils achieved the standard that was expected under that system’. Advice from Head of Profession on comparability over time (DfE 5.7.16)
