  5 Plus GCSE Passes at A* to C (inc English and Maths):
There were significant changes to the secondary school league tables in England in 2005. The new benchmark - the "gold standard", as the government described it - became the proportion of pupils attaining the Level 2 threshold (five or more GCSEs at A* to C or equivalent), including English and Maths GCSEs.
This first set of charts highlight the percentage of Comberton Village College pupils passing five or more GCSEs and equivalents with grades A* to C, including English and Mathematics.
Further details are available on the BBC Education and DCSF sites.

  5 Plus GCSE Passes at A* to C:
This second set of charts shows the percentage of pupils who achieved the old Level 2 benchmark (five or more GCSEs at grades A* to C or their equivalents) at the end of Key Stage 4. At Comberton, most of these pupils are in Year 11 (aged 15 or 16), the year group in which pupils normally take their GCSEs. Prior to 2005 the Department for Education and Skills had reported the attainment of 15-year-olds (i.e. age at the start of the school year).

  Contextual Value Added (Pupils' Improvement):

These results incorporate a complex Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4 contextual value added (CVA) score designed to show the progress CVC students have made. This is done by comparing their achievements with those of other pupils nationally who had the same or similar prior attainment in their test results at age 10 or 11 in 2002. CVA includes nine factors known to affect pupils' attainment but outside a school's control:

- Gender
- Special Educational Needs
- Ethnicity
- Eligible for Free School Meals
- First Language
- Mobility
- Age
- In Care
- IDACI (a postcode-based deprivation measure)
What CVA does is predict what a given child's attainment should be based on the actual attainment of other children with similar prior attainment and similar backgrounds. The idea is that how they actually performed - better or worse than the others - is down to the school's influence. The pupils' individual scores are averaged to give a score for the school as a whole, to which another calculation is applied, finally producing a number based around 1000.
The absolute "bottom" to "top" range this year (2007) is 934.6 to 1090.5. The DCSF says that if every pupil in a school achieved the median (middle) outcome for pupils with their level of prior attainment, the school would score 1000.
Further details are available on the BBC Education and DCSF sites.
