From 2010/11, discounting has been applied where pupils have taken the same subject more than once and only one entry is counted in these circumstances. Only the first entry is counted, in all subjects, in line with the early entry guidance.<\/p> [2] In 2013/14, two major reforms were implemented which affect the calculation of key stage 4 performance measures data: 1) Professor Alison Wolf\u2019s 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\u2019s first attempt at a qualification, in subjects counted in the English Baccalaureate. Consequently, the numbers supplied prior to 2013/14 are not comparable with those from 2013/14 onwards.<\/p> [3] In 2014/15, early entry policy, under which only a pupil\u2019s first attempt at a qualification is counted in performance measures, was extended to all subjects.<\/p> [4] The A* grade was introduced in 2009/10, prior to that only grades A to E existed as pass grades.<\/p> [5] 2015 figures are based on revised data. Figures for all other years are final.<\/p> [6] The A* grade was introduced in 2009/10, prior to that only grades A to E existed as pass grades.<\/p>"}
