The 2014 and 2015 cohorts are shown in Table 1. The secondary sector is characterised by a high proportion of small schools with less than 700 students on roll; there is approximately 16% surplus capacity at secondary schools which creates some student turbulence. There is evidence of pupils leaving the Basingstoke town secondary system to be educated elsewhere, mainly Winchester and Alresford. The measure in schools of 5A*-C including English and mathematics has been the benchmark for entry to further education for some years. This, along with separate progress score for English and mathematics measured between pupils leaving the primary sector (KS2) and the secondary sector (KS4), is how schools have been evaluated. A change to this metric comes in summer 2016 when Progress 8 and Attainment 8 measures will be in place. This requires pupils and schools to be evaluated in a similar way but over eight subjects. The cohort sizes below represent a slight increase over that of 2014 with 1560 more students on roll.

There are five borough schools above the England average (57.3%), Hampshire average (59.7%) and borough average (53.5%). These are Bishop Challoner (72%), Testbourne Community School (65%), The Costello School (60%), The Hurst (67%) and The Clere School (62%). In contrast with 2014 Brighton Hill Community School is now below that of England, and The Clere has risen above. There are six schools below the England, Hampshire and borough averages: The Vyne (43%), Aldworth, (49%), Fort Hill (39%), Brighton Hill (51%), Cranbourne (51%) and Everest (39%). In 2015 the gap between the highest and the lowest performing school is 35%, 6% closer than in 2014, and the smallest gap since 2009. In recent years the highest performing school has attainment levels in the high 70%s and the lowest attaining school usually around 35-39%, although the gap has fluctuated since 2010. A recent change to the profile is the dipping of the schools’ upper attainment results, rather than a drop of the lowest results affecting the breadth of the range. The most notable changes from 2013 to 2015 are: - Bishop Challoner and Testbourne have consistently had the highest results year on year (Charts 2 and b) although Testbourne’s results are their lowest since 2010. - Cranbourne`s performance has declined by 15 percentage points from 2013 and is now performing below national, county and borough averages. - Both The Clere School’s and The Hurst’s results have steadily increased overall, The Hurst having it strongest outcomes for some years. - The results for both Brighton Hill and Costello show considerable fluctuation with a return to their 2013 profiles. - The results at Aldworth have declined for a third year since strong results in 2012. - The Vyne dropped 10% from greatly improved outcomes in 2014, although broadly remains above all outcomes to 2011. - Attainment at Fort Hill reduced in 2012 from 56% to 42% and again in 2015 to 39%, remaining low and considerably below national and county averages for 4 years. - There has been a 6% increase in attainment for Everest Community Academy from 33% in 2014 to 39% in 2015 but it remains some way from its strongest outcomes of 2013. Fort Hill is the lowest performing school in 2015.

In 2015 there was a slight increase in results in England from 65.8% to 66.5%, in Hampshire from 67.6% to 67.7% but not in Basingstoke and Deane borough overall, where outcomes fell 2.8% to 61.2% There is however little change in the relative position of each school which is similar to the ranking when English and mathematics are counted within the 5 GCSEs. Attainment levels in Basingstoke and Deane schools range from 73.4% (Bishop Challoner) to 38.6% (Fort Hill) (Chart 3) when including English and mathematics but from 77.7% to 45% when considering all subjects together (Table 4). National, county and borough averages increase by 8-9% without the inclusion of English and mathematics. There are several aspects about the impact of strength in English and mathematics in overall attainment to consider; if schools are able to ensure that strength in English and mathematics enables pupils to access wider curriculum subjects this is generally reflected in a differential no smaller than the national 8+%, with a lower attainment figure being at least in line with that nationally.
