New measures for reporting GCSE achievements have been introduced this year. It measures the number of students attaining at least a C grade in English and mathematics combined.
Well done to pupils and teachers. Provisional results show a ten percent improvement in the number of pupils achieving five A* - C in this year's GCSEs.
Progress 8 and Attainment 8 are just two of the new ways of measuring performance of schools across the country. OnTheWight shares a handy slideshow which makes sense of the new measurements.
