School and College Key Stage 5 Achievement and Attainment Tables 2009 Cumbria FE06 Introduction

These tables provide information on the achieve- Cumbria ment and attainment of students of sixth-form age in local secondary schools and further educa- FE06 tion sector colleges. Local Authorities covered: They also show how these results compare with Cumbria other schools and colleges in the area and in England as a whole. The tables list, in alphabetical order and sub- divided by the local authority (LA), the further education sector colleges, maintained secondary schools and independent schools in the LSC area with students of sixth-form age. Special schools that have chosen to be included are also listed, and a inal section lists any sixth-form centres or consortia that operate in the area. Each entry gives information about the attainment of students at the end of study in general and applied A and AS level examinations and equivalent level 3 qualiication (otherwise referred to as the end of ‘Key Stage 5’). The information in these tables only provides part of the picture of the work done in schools and colleges. For example, colleges often provide for a wider range of student needs and include adults as well as young people among their students. The tables should be considered alongside other important sources of information such as Ofsted reports and school and college prospectuses. Ofsted school inspection reports can be found on Ofsted’s website at www.ofsted.gov.uk or direct from the school. Maintained schools must provide parents with prospectuses on request. Connexions will also be an important source of information and advice for young people considering their post-16 options.

VA measure based on individual pupil progress between KS4 and KS5. The measure is represented as a number based around 1000 and indicates the value the institution has added on average for their pupils.

VA scores are a way of estimating the underlying efectiveness of an institution. As we cannot calculate this score exactly we provide a conidence interval. The conidence interval gives a range for where the VA score is most likely to fall. The igures here show the upper and lower limits of this range.

The percentage of students eligible for AlAS or equivalent study who were included in the value added calculation. A VA measure is not published for institutions with less than 50% coverage.
