Summary

About this notice

This advice from the Department for Education has been produced to provide users of the 2018 provisional key stage 4 performance tables data, with details of a minor error affecting the calculation of some school’s Progress 8 scores, included in the published data.

Description

The key stage 2 threshold table – which is used to calculate pupils’ key stage 2 fine grades – used in the calculation of Progress 8, contained some minor errors.

The department has calculated the impact, on the provisional Progress 8 data for each school; for the majority of schools there is no impact. However, for 58 schools their provisional Progress 8 data would change by between 0.01 and 0.04 (see Annex A). The correction would have no impact on these schools’ provisional Progress 8 bandings 1. As such, the department has judged the impact of this error to be within the levels of natural variation in school level Progress 8 data that we would normally expect between the provisional and revised publication.

Rather than correct the calculation, which would have necessitated a notable delay to the provisional publication, the department has proceeded to publish (without correcting the error in the provisional release) and has produced this transparency notice as supporting explanation.

This transparency notice is intended to provide users of the publised data, with detailed information on the impact on the provisional Progress 8 data for all affected. The error will be fully corrected in the data for the revised performance tables publication in January 2019.

The department wrote to all affected schools in advance of the 16th October publication to notify them.
