Performance tables to include Level 2 VQs
24 July 2017
16-18 performance tables will expand in 2017 to include vocational qualifications at Level 2.
This is one of a few changes for 2017, made as a result of government reforms to the way schools and colleges are accountable for their performance.
Other data that will appear for the first time in performance tables includes new measures on Level 3 maths, and reformed 9-1 GCSEs in English and maths (other reformed GCSEs will follow in 2018 and 2019).
The headline performance measures in 2017 will use a GCSE grade 5 (strong pass) for reformed English and maths but for transparency in 2017, the headline performance measure will also be published at grade 4.
