I can obviously find data on how many pupils acheived 5 A*-C with and without maths and english.
But am I right in thinking these still include GCSE equivalents in the form of BTECs? I l.e. can I find out how a school has done just based on the GCSE performance?
Also - how important to the pupil is the EBACC? I know that it is being used for school league tables but do pupils really need it for university entrance? The reason ibam asking is that dcs are really not great at French and I am questioning whether a good result in another subject will be more important to them than a potentially weak result in French.
Finally is there anywhere I can find data on GCSE result trends. My dcs are actually only in yr 8 but we have to apply for there next school by the end of October so am weighing up different options. As they obviously won't be doing their GCSEs for a few years I want to look at and compare trends rather than just this years results.
