Cambridge Contextual Data

[SaltyMyDear]

Does anyone here understand Cambridge admissions, and particularly contextual data?

www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/applying/contextual-data

It says "Firstly, if the typical GCSE performance of an applicant’s GCSE school/college is relatively low (which we define as an average capped GCSE point score per pupil of below 40, out of a maximum of 64), a flag is appended to their application to indicate this."

How do I find out what the avg capped score of DSs school was?

Is it their attainment 8 score on the DCSF league tables?

40 on progress 8 seems worse than the list of schools Oxford uses.

40's an average of grade 5 (high C/low B) for top 8 subjects (are E and M included?) which seems ok. My dc's very average comp has a score of 45, so 40 indicating a poor performing school feel reasonable.

Hmmm. Well then I guess he won't qualify for this then.

Annoyingly his school was on the Oxford list, which I can no longer find.....
