Test, exam and assessment results

What all academies should publish

All academies should publish a link to the compare school and college performance service and to their own performance measures page on it.  

Key stage 2

Academies with key stage 2 pupils should publish their most recent key stage 2 performance measures, as published by the Secretary of State, comprising:

  • the percentage of their pupils who achieved the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (combined)
  • the percentage of their pupils who achieved a higher standard in reading, writing and maths (combined)
  • their pupils’ average scaled score in:
    • reading
    • maths

It will not be possible to calculate key stage 1 to key stage 2 progress measures for the 2023 to 2024 or 2024 to 2025 academic years. There is no key stage 1 baseline available to calculate primary progress measures for these years because of Covid-19 disruption.

For the 2023 to 2024 academic year, academies do not have to publish progress scores in reading, writing or maths, as the Secretary of State is not publishing these.

Key stage 4

Academies with key stage 4 pupils should publish their most recent key stage 4 performance measures, as published by the Secretary of State, comprising:

  • their Progress 8 score
  • the percentage of their pupils achieving a grade 5 or above in GCSE English and GCSE maths
  • their Attainment 8 score
  • the percentage of their pupils staying in education or going into employment after key stage 4
  • the percentage of their pupils who were entered for the English Baccalaureate (EBacc)
  • their EBacc average point score (APS)

Key stage 5 (16 to 18)

Academies and FE colleges with students aged 16 to 18 should publish their most recent 16 to 18 performance measures, as published by the Secretary of State, comprising their students’ headline:

  • progress (value added) measures
  • attainment measures
  • retention measures
  • destination measures

They do not have to publish value added measures for the 2022 to 2023 academic year, as the Secretary of State is not publishing these.

They do not have to publish English and maths progress measures for the 2022 to 2023 or 2023 to 2024 academic years, as the Secretary of State is not publishing these.
