Q&A

Ofsted


Why do I need to understand Attainment 8 and Progress 8?


Attainment 8 and Progress 8 are the new attainment and progress measures which will be reported in School Performance Tables from 2016, and will form the basis of reports in RAISEonline from this date.

When Ofsted visit your school after September 2016, they will have studied your 2015/16 RAISEonline Summary Report, and will look for evidence to test hypotheses they have made about your school based on this document.

The DfE have already stated that they view the Progress 8 measure as being the most important headline figure after 2016;


In 2016, a school will be below the floor standard if their Progress 8 score is below -0.5. If a school’s performance falls below this floor standard, then the school may come under scrutiny through inspection. Schools in which pupils make one grade more progress than the national average (i.e. Progress 8 > 1.0) will be exempt from routine inspections by Ofsted in the next academic year.
DfE February 2015

The NEW half day Attainment 8 and Progress 8 Training course covers:


• How the new measures are calculated
• How leaders can ensure they maximise their Attainment 8 and Progress 8 scores
• Curriculum implications of changes to school performance measures
• How changes to the grading of GCSEs will impact on Attainment 8 and Progress 8
• Where to find Attainment 8 and Progress 8 data on your school, and how to interpret it.
