ACHIEVEMENT LANDSCAPE PICTURES: KEY STAGE 4 2017
At the end of each academic year, for the past ten years, ECARDA has used the published national datasets to produce pictures of school achievement.
The attached selection shows the achievement of schools in Lincolnshire and the Humber sub- region at the end of Key Stage 4.
The horizontal axis refers to “attainment” and, since 2016, uses the published attainment 8 measure.
The vertical axis refers to “progress” and, since 2016, uses the published progress 8 measure.
The labels in each of the chart quadrants are no more than indicators: Higher-than-average attainment with higher-than-average progress is indicated as accomplishing; Lower-than- average-attainment with higher-than-average progress is indicated as striving; Lower-than- average-progress with higher-than-average attainment is indicated as cruising; Lower-than- average attainment with lower-than-average progress is indicated as struggling.
Discounting those clustered around the centre/average, the proportion of schools or pupils which fall into each of these categories makes for an interesting comparison across local authority areas. See the ECARDA website for a presentation of this type of analysis in 2016.
The final picture shows the achievement landscape of all local authorities across the country with outliers and regional local authorities labelled.
If any reader would like a bespoke local authority area achievement landscape picture then get in touch.
The Key Stage 2 pictures will be published later this year.
