League tables: Introducing Progress 8

Schools are bracing themselves for a new benchmark performance measure – Progress 8. Catherine Mastaglio looks at the changes, which are coming in for exams sat in 2016.

The Department for Education (DfE) has recently made some significant changes to the way that secondary school performance is measured, changes which will have an impact on schools up and down the country.

The aim is to reform the way that schools and colleges are assessed so that all pupils, regardless of background, can make progress and find success across a broad choice of subjects and study programmes.
