School comparison data - prior attainment

4 replies

CharismaticMegafauna · 18/09/2024 15:05

I've been looking at the DfE school comparison website where you can filter data such as the percentage of pupils who get Maths and English at Grade 5 or above by prior attainment. It says that high prior attainers are those who got 110 or more in the SATs. Does this mean in at least one of the Year 6 subjects? For example, would a child who got 100 in Maths but 115 in Reading be classed as a high prior attainer because of their Reading score? Or would they be a medium prior attainer because of their Maths score?

At her school around 32% of last year's GCSE students were high prior attainers. A couple of the feeder schools have around 25-30% of children getting Greater Depth in all subjects, but the other ones have a lower percentage.

I was also wondering how the Year 10 and 11 cohort will be assessed as they didn't do SATs - the Year 7 baseline test?

I believe the attainment bands are calculated by using the average of a child's KS2 sats results.
No idea about the y10 or 11 thing! Was wondering the same thing myself the other day. My guess is that there won't be P8 scores for those years. I know most secondary schools had baseline assessments, but I guess they weren't standardised in any way.

P8 won't be calculated for those years.

Yes, it's the average of their reading and maths. Not spag or writing.

No progress measures for y10 and y11 just old school %4+ 5+ and 7+ in English and maths like it was before.
