A level Results

Facilitating subjects are: Mathematics and Further Mathematics, English (Literature), Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Geography, History, Languages (Classical and Modern).

Looking at top-end results in a select list of subjects. Based on the findings of the ‘Russell Group’ who looked at entry to top universities.

2013-14 ReformsTaken from DFE ‘Statement of Intent 2013’

• 25. Building on from cohort changes last year, the 2013 performance tables will report vocational and academic performance separately. Therefore, results for A levels with other KS5 equivalences will no longer be published. This means we will publish three performance categories which will report results for A leveIs; A level and other advanced academic qualifications; and advanced vocational qualifications. These indicators will show the proportion of students at each school or college studying these qualifications.

• 27. The 16-18 performance tables will also include value added results for A leveIs; A level and other advanced academic qualifications; and advanced vocational qualifications. The release of these data for the 2013 tables is subject to further analysis.

Tables are expected to be published in December

ALPS• Nationally recognised system,

widely used to analyse results• Generated from our Examination

Results (usually within 2 weeks)• Provides various reports that look

at results– performance in comparison to students’

KS4 ability bands – student level breakdown– subject level breakdown– provides indicators for performance

against National Data

ALPS Report (page 78): “Alps A level programme students only - Student Performance”ALPS Report (page 78): “Alps A level programme students only - Student Performance”

This is one example of the student performance tables that ALPS provides. It compares student’s ALPS set target

against what grade they actually achieved.

KEY: Hit target grade or better = RED , 1 grade down = GREY , 2 grades down or more = BLUE

Don’t be caught out by the colour coding!

This table looks at A Level grades achieved in comparison to student’s KS4 average point score (APS). At GCSE an

APS above 46 is average grade C, 40 a grade D, 34 grade E.

Conclusion

• DFE performance tables are published annually and contain the results that we are held accountable for.

• Reforms to the KS5 tables in coming years will continue to place more emphasis on Academic A-Levels.

• ALPS can be used to look at more detailed subject and student level data.

• Subject performance and individual student case studies can be identified.
