Defined as pupils at the end of key stage 4 attending a school within the Mansfield
parliamentary constituency.</p><p>[4] For pupils at the end of key stage 4 with results
that count in key stage 4 performance tables</p><p>[5] In 2013/14, two major reforms
were implemented which affect the calculation of key stage 4 performance measures
data: 1) Professor Alison Wolf’s Review of Vocational Education recommendations which:
restrict the qualifications counted; prevent any qualification from counting as larger
than one GCSE; and cap the number of non-GCSEs included in performance measures at
two per pupil, and 2) an early entry policy to only count a pupil’s first attempt
at a qualification, in subjects counted in the English Baccalaureate. Consequently,
the numbers supplied prior to 2013/14 are not directly comparable with those from
2013/14 onwards.</p><p>[6] In 2014/15, early entry policy, under which only a pupil’s
first attempt at a qualification is counted in performance measures, was extended
to all subjects.</p><p>[7] New reformed 9-1 GCSEs in Arts subject counted in key stage
4 performance tables for the first time in 2017/18. Once a reformed subject is included
in performance tables, their unreformed counterparts no longer count, even if this
was an early entry.</p>
