Key Stage (KS) 4 is the stage of the National Curriculum between the ages of 14 and 16 years. GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) is the principal means of assessing pupil attainment at the end of compulsory secondary education. Grades A* to G are classified as passes, grades A* to C as good passes and grades U and X as fails. This indicator relates to pupils achieving 5A*-C grades or equivalent including GCSE English and Maths taken at the end of KS4.

The figures presented here provide information about the GCSE and Equivalent results and associated Value Added Measures of 15-year-old pupils in maintained schools in England. The dataset includes the total number of 15 year old pupils taking GCSE and Equivalent exams, the percentage of 15 year old pupils obtaining passes and good passes (grade A*-C at GCSE and Equivalent), the percentage of 15 year old pupils obtaining no passes at GCSE and Equivalent, the percentage of 15 year olds obtaining any passes at GCSE and Equivalent, the average GCSE and Equivalent point scores and capped point scores per 15 year old pupil. A breakdown by pupil free school meal eligibility is also included.

The indicator will measure number of pupils in a school achieving 5A*-C or equivalent including English and Maths at KS4 against number of pupils in a school eligible for assessment at KS4, expressed as a percentage.

Average Progress 8 score from KS2 to KS4.

Progress 8 is a measure of attainment progress made by pupils between Key Stage 2 (age 10-11) and selected subjects at GCSE (age 15-16). Progress in English and Maths is double weighted. It is calculated for every pupil, then a York average is calculated.

Figures are calculated as those achieving at least 5 GCSE grades A*-C (or equivalent) divided by the number of all 16 year old pupils (those pupils on the school roll at the time of the Annual School Census each year, who were aged 15 at the start of that academic year), expressed as a percentage at both national and school level. Education plays a number of roles in influencing inequalities in health, if health is viewed in its widest sense. Firstly, it has an important role in influencing inequalities in socioeconomic position. Educational qualifications are a determinant of an individual's labour market position, which in turn influences income, housing and other material resources. These are related to health and health inequalities. As a consequence, education is a traditional route out of poverty for those living in disadvantage. The roles of education set out above imply a range of outcomes which are not readily measurable. However, inequality is observed when looking at educational achievement. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds, as measured by being in receipt of free school meals, have lower educational achievement than other children. This indicator relates to the Public Service Agreement (PSA) performance management framework 2008-2011, as follows: • PSA Delivery Agreement 10 Indicator 4 Increase the proportion achieving 5 A*-C GCSEs (or equivalent) including GCSEs in both English and Maths at KS4 to 53% by 2011 (baseline 2006 of 46%); • PSA Delivery Agreement 11 Indicator 2 Decrease the achievement gap between pupils eligible for free school meals and their peers achieving the expected level at key stages 2 and 4.
