GCSE Results

In 2016 the Government introduced a new GCSE accountability measure known as Progress 8 (P8). This is a score based on how well the students do in relation to what was expected of them in 8 of their subjects. (Expectations are based on prior attainment at the end of Year 6.) For example, if a student was expected to get 8 grade 6s at GCSE, but achieved 8 grade 7s, then they would receive a P8 score of +1 (1 grade better than expected on average). Likewise, if they achieved 8 grade 5s their score would be -1.

The 8 subjects that are used to calculate the P8 score are as follows:

English and maths GCSEs
3 of the following GCSEs: Science, Spanish, French, History and Geography
Any other 3 subjects
