As of this week, schools can opt-in to be judged under the new Progress 8 league table measure in 2015 – a year early.
New headline performance measures are being introduced in 2016 when schools will be judged according to the progress their students make across eight eligible subjects, known as Progress 8.
New-look league tables will also include pupils’ average exam scores across the eight subjects, as well as the proportion of pupils who attain at least a C in English and maths and details of how many get five English Baccalaureate GCSEs.
Opting in now will mean schools agree to being judged against a floor standard based on Progress 8 and to data in the 2015 performance tables (published in early 2016) being based on the new measures.
