Entry to Exit Data
The progress our pupils make is judged from when they join us at the start of year 6 until when they leave us at the end of year 8. We use GL Assessment to provide externally validation of our pupils' progress. This is because we don’t have a clearly defined ‘end point’, unlike a 11-16 school would have with GCSE outcomes, for instance.
GL Assessments check pupils’ knowledge, understanding and application in the core subjects, track progress at individual and cohort level and indicate possible gaps in learning. As they are standardised on over 100,000 students, with benchmarks verified each year based on analysis of over half a million pupils, they are a robust tool to help us assess the impact of our curriculum.
Usually, we baseline test pupils at the start of year 6, repeat this process at the start of year 7 (KS3) and then at the end of year 8. Due to COVID-19, the pupils who left the school at the end of year 8 in 2023 did not take a year 6 baseline assessment. As a consequence, the data below compares their progress from the start of year 7 and therefore, whilst impressive, doesn’t take into account the full amount of progress the cohort made with us from their starting points in year 6. The data links to the Standard Age Score (SAS), where a score of 100 is the expected score of an ‘average’ pupil in that particular year group, as based on the analysis GL assessment undertake. This is the fairest, and most accurate way of comparing the performance of pupils within or across a year group and/or different schools.
Our outcomes validate our curriculum and show the strong progress pupils make in their time with us - the vast majority of pupils make at least expected progress, with many above expected and therefore often leave with outcomes that significantly exceed their entry points.
