Key Stage 4 Performance Measures Explained
Progress 8
All secondary schools are judged on the amount of progress that their students make. This is known as the 'Progress 8' measure. This is the main headline measure by which schools are ranked and is published in the secondary school performance tables. This measure is not calculated for the 2025 or 2026 cohorts as it relies on Key Stage 2 SATs results that are taken at the end of Year 6 which students in these cohorts did not complete due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
What does Progress 8 measure?
Progress 8 calculates how much progress students make between their results in year 6 and their results in year 11 (GCSEs). It is a 'value-added' measure, meaning students' results are compared to the achievements of other students across the country with similar year 6 results.
A school's Progress 8 score is an average of all students' individual scores. It shows whether, as a group, students in the school made above or below average progress compared to similar students in other schools.
A value of 0 is the national average and therefore a figure above 0 is above average. A negative value would be below the national average.
Attainment 8
Attainment 8 is a measure of a student’s average grade across a set suite of eight subjects.
Grade 5 or above in English and Maths GCSEs
This tells you the percentage of students who achieved grade 5 or above in GCSEs. GCSEs are graded 1 (low) to 9 (high). Grade 5 in the new grading is a similar level of achievement to a high grade C or low grade B in the old grading.
Staying in Education or Entering Employment
This shows the number of students who either stayed in education or went into employment after finishing key stage 4 (after year 11, usually aged 16).
Key Stage 5 Exam and Assessment Results

Key Stage 5 Performance Measures Explained
Progress
The Key Stage 5 progress measure tells you how much progress students made between the end of Key Stage 4 (Year 11) and the end of their sixth form studies, compared to similar students across England.
The scores are calculated by comparing the results of students in our sixth form with the results of students in schools and colleges across England who started with similar results at the end of Key Stage 4.
Progression to education and employment
The percentage of students who left our sixth form and stayed in education or went into employment from October to March the following year, or stayed in an apprenticeship for at least 6 months.
