The Department for Education (DfE) has confirmed its plans for new post-16 performance measures that aim to show students’ progress across their further education.

The reforms will see new performance measures for colleges and school 6th forms that show students’ progress from GCSE to age 18 as compared to others with the same GCSE results. They will measure progress in both academic subjects and the new vocational Tech Levels.

The new-look post-16 performance measures, which will come into effect from 2016, will also include:

Students’ average grades.

The progress made by students who arrived without a C in English and/or maths.

The proportion of students who drop-out.
