Value Added GCSE
How do you measure Value Added?
National MidYIS Test (Middle Year Information
System) taken in Y7 produce GCSE Predictors in each
subject. The girls are then tracked to see the grades
they actually get in these subjects at GCSE. A comparison
can then be made between the grades predicted on theiri
cognitive ability when they entered the school and their
actual results. Again this year the results show a considerable
improvement on the predicted grades.
Comment
As you can see the girls have out performed
their predicted grades on the basis of their demonstrated
ability at age 11 and age 16.
Note:
- These are both nationally recognised
tests, reflecting candidates of similar ability throughout
the country.
- The A Level value added is a "rollover"
value added, since the GCSE performance is better
than predicted going into their A Level studies. (Compare
this to a school where able pupils at age 11 do badly
in their GCSEs and therefore have a lower score than
their ability merits entering the sixth form.) Our
girls consistently do well at GCSE compared to their
ability at age 11 and then again in the sixth form.
- We have taken the "best-case
scenario" in all of these predictions. If the
CATs prediction comes out as a B/C we have counted
it as a B. This means, in this case, to get value
added a candidate would need to get A or A*.
- We are a relatively small school,
particularly at A Level (40 candidates), one girls'
results can therefore account for 2% of the total
results.
