Of the 234, 95 were secondary schools or all-through schools.
In the chart below, we have plotted the P8 scores of the affected schools for 2023 and 2024. Any school whose score was unchanged would be plotted on the (broken) diagonal line.
The picture is mixed: some schools cambodia rcs data achieved higher scores, some achieved lower scores. Typically, you find that schools with a low score one year will tend to improve the following year (and those with a high score will tend to see their score fall the following year).
Across all 95 schools, the average P8 score fell very slightly from 0.08 to 0.06.
Of course, we do not know just from this data how much disruption schools faced or how they responded to it. Perhaps Year 11 tended to be shielded from disruption more than other year groups.
Some schools will miss Progress 8
Much has been written over the years, including by ourselves, about how Progress 8 favours schools serving intakes with particular characteristics (and conversely how it works against others). For this reason we have long advocated for a contextualised Progress 8 measure to be published alongside Progress 8 and Attainment 8.
But it will become apparent next year that Progress 8 is far fairer to schools serving disadvantaged intakes than raw attainment measures that do not take account of prior attainment.
