@FFTSupport Morning, How can i access estimates for ALL KS4 subjects (Literature physics etc) for KS3 year groups?
This is very interesting
In 2020 and 2021, female students achieved more A*-A grades than male students. With the return of exams, we might have expected these gaps to close. But they haven’t (although they have narrowed since last year). Read more here ➜ ffteducationdatalab.org.uk/2022/08/a-leve… #AlevelResultsDay2022
The gap between independent schools and state selective schools has begun to return to pre-pandemic levels. The difference in entries graded A*-A was almost 14 percentage points last year but is now down to 8. Read more here ➜ ffteducationdatalab.org.uk/2022/08/a-leve… #AlevelResultsDay2022
🗺️ Regional divide remains. Ofqual analysis shows that, by and large, schools in the south of England have seen 37.7 per cent A or A* grades, outperforming areas in the North, which achieved 32.5 per cent on average telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/08/1…
Overall, a VERY good day to be a teacher. Great to see the hard work and dedication of so many lead to such success.
Our experience certainly today, very poor.
Frustrated teachers say they have been left unable to explain A-level results to students because they could not access AQA’s exams portal #AlevelResultsDay2022 schoolsweek.co.uk/a-level-result…
"We need to see the full data set for 2021/22 before we will be able to confirm how KS2 scaled scores will be assigned to Prior Attainment Groups, or to confirm Attainment 8 averages. This information will be ..."..." in autumn 2022." So no idea then...
Prior Entries count, so if students "sat" English Lit last year they will achieve the double English measure this year by only sitting English Language.
@DataEducator the ks4 (and 5) accountability measures have been updated ( I missed it, been a bit busy) main points? gov.uk/government/pub…
@DataEducator Like the disadvantaged school report I presume.
👇
NEW BLOG: "It’s vital to remember that behind all these numbers are real young people, who have worked hard through extremely challenging circumstances." Read our full analysis of today's results 👇 suttontrust.com/news-opinion/a…
No changes then? Anyone? #alevels2021 #NoSuprises
Its actually here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
We’ve published proposed guidance for schools and colleges on how to determine teacher assessed grades and what evidence should be considered. It’s part of a short technical consultation – you can read it and share your feedback here ow.ly/rCLo50DJNWy
So centres are pinned to 2019 outcomes (or 2017 - 2019)? Centres could have had significant cohort changes in the last two years.
The hidden algorithm..."I expect the exam boards to use the following criteria to identify centres for further checks: where the centres’ submitted grades appear significantly lower or higher than past performance; where there have been significant changes in entry patterns..."
