The Impact of the Introduction of Progress 8 on the Uptake of Qualifications in English Schools -- An Update for 2016/17. Research Report
Gill, Tim
Cambridge Assessment
This report is an updated version of an analysis undertaken last year (Gill, 2017) which looked at the impact of the introduction of new accountability measures (Attainment 8 and Progress 8) on the qualifications and subjects taken by students at the end of Key Stage 4 (KS4). It adds in data from the 2016/17 academic year, which was the second year in which schools were subject to the new measures. An extra analysis was undertaken this year, looking at whether changes in uptake and provision were more pronounced in schools with lower Progress 8 scores. The results presented here suggest that the introduction of Progress 8 continues to have an impact on uptake and provision of qualifications. [For the previous report, "The Impact of the Introduction of Progress 8 on the Uptake and Provision of Qualifications in English Schools. Research Report," see ED622151.]
