4. How it is calculated?
Every student will have a Progress 8 target grade from Year 7 which is based on their KS2 Reading and Maths grades.
If a student’s Progress 8 target grade is a 7, they will have to have eight 7’s to have a ‘0’ Value Added score. If they achieved eight 8’ s they would have a positive Value Added score.
At the end of Year 11 the progress of the whole cohort will be measured to give us an Attainment grade and a Progress 8 figure e.g.
Attainment: C-
Progress: (-0.5 will trigger an inspection)
