This will have had no noticeable effect on the overall figures. Due to the methodology used to assign points to English literature and language, a small number of students may be assigned to a different qualification type.

These figures are for 2017/18.<\/p> Disaggregating the published figures has necessitated a slightly different methodology to calculate the number of students with positive progress. In some cases this leads to a negligible difference when totals are compared to the published data within the Department\u2019s statistical release[5].<\/p> For figures in 2016/17, tables 1-8 have been replicated in tables 9-16, attached.<\/p> <\/p> [1] Disadvantage status is taken from the census recorded completed for that student\u2019s final year of key stage 4 study.<\/p> [2] In previous PQs 251400\u2013251406, prior attainment was given based on three groups (\u2018entry level or fail\u2019, \u2018below grade 3/D\u2019 and \u2018grade 3/D\u2019). In the attached tables with information relating to prior attainment points, these points are based on the student\u2019s highest prior attainment in mathematics or English. \u2018Entry level or fail\u2019 is synonymous with points 0 and 0.4. \u2018Below grade 3 or D\u2019 is synonymous with points 0.8\u20133.0. \u2018Grade 3 or D\u2019 is synonymous with points 4.0. This is the case for all the tables provided.<\/p> [3] \u2018GCSE or equivalent\u2019 includes students whose highest prior attainment were in a GCSE, International GCSE or level 2 certificate. Qualifications are included in this group because they are all similarly graded on a 9-1 or A*-G scale and are included as part of the condition for funding calculations. \u2018Other level 2 qualifications\u2019 includes students whose highest prior attainment was in any other level 2 qualification. This includes level 2 functional skills and free standing maths that are included as part of the condition of funding calculations. This is the case for tables 5-8 and 13-16.<\/p> [4] The methodology used means that for a small number of students any entries into maths during their 16-18 study which did not reach the grade 4/C threshold (leaving them in scope), may have led to their prior attainment being reclassified. This will have had no noticeable effect on the overall figures. Due to the methodology used to assign points to English literature and language, a small number of students may be assigned to a different qualification type. This is the case for tables 5-8 and 13-16.<\/p> <\/p>"}
