Curriculum and Performance Measures ….an update
Curriculum and Performance Measure changes • Changes to content and assessment at every Key Stage • Key changes coming up • Possible considerations: context is all
Performance Measures 2014/15 2014 and 2015 similar to current league tables. Headline accountability measure will be 5+GCSE including English and Maths Reforms from Wolf Report apply. No qualification can count for more than 1 GCSE, not more than 2 approved vocational qualifications count in performance tables
Performance Measures from 2016 • Progress 8 • Attainment 8 • % Grade C or above in English & Maths • Ebacc • Destination Measure
Progress 8 This will show whether pupils have performed better than expected at the end of Key stage 4 considering their starting point. Key stage 2 results will be used to predict each pupil’s likely grades across 8 subjects at the end of Key stage 4. The subjects: English, maths plus 3 Ebacc subjects (sciences, computer science, geography, history and languages) plus 3 further subjects from other EBacc subjects OR other approved (inc. arts, academic, vocational) Predicted Outcomes – Actual Outcomes = Progress 8 (double weighting for Eng (if Lit) and Maths: 40% of P8 measure) The average of all pupils’ progress scores across 8 subjects will create a school’s result. Divided by 10 due to double weighting
Different Data from KS2 a school might report pupils’ national curriculum test results to parents as follows: In the end of key stage 2 reading test, Sally received a scaled score of 126 (the secondary ready standard is 100), placing her in the top 10% of pupils nationally. The average scaled score for pupils with the same prior attainment was 114, so she has made more progress in reading than pupils with a similar starting-point. In the end of key stage 2 mathematics test, Tom received a scaled score of 87. He did not meet the secondary readiness standard (100). This places him in the bottom 10% of pupils nationally. The average scaled score for pupils with the same prior attainment was 92, so he has made less progress in mathematics than other pupils with a similar starting point.
Attainment 8 This will show the school’s average grade across the same suite of 8 subjects as the progress measure. This will show, for example, that pupils in a particular school typically average a high B grade or a low D grade in their GCSEs.
Floor Standard 2013-4 Fewer than 40 per cent of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 (KS4) achieve 5 or more GCSEs A*-C (or equivalents) including English and maths GCSE. A below average percentage of pupils at the end of KS4 have made expected progress in English or Maths 2014-5 50% floor standard for 5 A*-C incl E&M 2016: New measures: schools will fall below the floor standard if pupils make an average of half a grade less progress than expected across their eight subjects. So, for example, a school is underperforming if its pupils were expected to gain eight Cs (because that's what their peers, with similar prior attainment, secure elsewhere in the country) but they actually achieved less than 4 Cs and 4 Ds. Over performing is if pupils make 1 grade better than expected progress David Laws Oct 2013 “At present, there are 195 schools below the floor standard. Using existing figures, we estimate that around twice as many schools would be below this new floor standard. However, as schools will adjust their curriculum to the new framework the actual number is likely to be significantly lower than this.”
Percentage Grade C+ English & Maths January 2014: “We will also give English Literature parity with English Language in other headline performance tables measures in 2016 tables. Therefore: In the measure showing the percentage of pupils achieving a C grade or better in English and maths, a pupil would have to achieve a C in either English Literature of English Language to satisfy the English requirement (in 2016, a C in Combined English would be sufficient).” Update Feb 2014: “the percentage of pupils achieving a C grade or better in both English (either language or literature) and mathematics” But: Lit must be studied and gained C in one for both to count in EBacc
EBacc This will continue to show the percentage of pupils who achieve good grades in a range of academic subjects. English – double weighted (if Lit) Maths – double weighted Sciences (2 required) Computer Science Geography History Languages
Destination Measure October 2013: “We would also like to include a destination measure as a fifth headline indicator. This will show the percentage of pupils who went on to sustained education, employment or training during the year after they finished their Key stage 4 qualifications. We currently publish experimental statistics to show this information. We want to be sure the statistics are robust before committing to using this destination measure as a headline indicator”
Data Portal October 2013: A wealth of other information about schools will be easily available through the Data Portal, which will be introduced by March 2015. …. a new website that the DfE says will allow the public to search all the information it holds about schools, subject to protecting the anonymity of individuals. The site is likely to include data showing school-by-school performance in vocational qualifications, the percentage of pupils achieving the top grades in GCSEs, and average grades by subject.
Curriculum Changes: KS3 September 2014: New National Curriculum No levels • How are staff planning for curriculum heavy on content vs ‘skills and pedagogy’ (principled curriculum design?) • How will this be assessed over KS3, will this link to KS2? KS4? • Clarity on a new secondary ready score?
