  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 will be available on the BBC Education and DCSF sites later in the academic year.

  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).
Further details will be available on the BBC Education and DCSF sites later in the academic year.

  Contextual Value Added (Pupils' Improvement):

The results incorporate complex contextual value added (CVA) scores designed to show the progress children have made. This is done by comparing their achievements with those of other pupils nationally who had the same or similar prior attainment. This predicts 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. Care has to be taken when reading the rankings, with no great significance being read into small differences. A score which appears to be higher than another does not necessarily indicate greater progress.

The absolute "bottom" to "top" range this year (2009) is 916 to 1123.4. 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. A result above 1000 is to be commended.
New in the 2009 tables, Progress Measures show the proportion of pupils who made at least the expected progress in English and in Mathematics during their time in the school. The measure is built on the principle that pupils who had achieved a Level 4 by the end of Key Stage 2 (when they finished primary school, in most cases) should be expected to achieve at least a C grade GCSE in that subject.
2010 details will be available on the BBC Education and DCSF sites later in the calendar year.
