An Era of Change in Education

Progress 8 Parents Information Evening

First Entry vs Best Entry • 2014- Wolf report stated that only students

first entry in examinations would count in school performance tables.

• CCHS – We will continue to make the right decisions for our students NOT for the performance tables.

• We will publish a separate set of performance tables based on our ‘Best Entry’

New GCSE’s• Current Yr10’s – All old GCSE’s

(A*-G)

• Current Yr9’s – New GCSE Maths and English (9-1 Grade) and all other GCSE’s (A*-G)

• Current Yr 8’s – All new GCSE’s (Grades 9-1)

What’s different for the new GCSE’s?

• All Linear (examined at the end of the course – no modular exams)

• They will be ‘harder’ • They will be graded 9-1 as

opposed to A*-G

• We make excellent progress with our students, this measure will demonstrate this and allow us to fully embrace our school vision.
