An Era of Change in Education
Progress 8 Parents Information Evening
First Entry vs Best Entry • 2014- Wolf report stated that only students
first entry in examinations would count in school performance tables.
• CCHS – We will continue to make the right decisions for our students NOT for the performance tables.
• We will publish a separate set of performance tables based on our ‘Best Entry’
New GCSE’s• Current Yr10’s – All old GCSE’s
(A*-G)
• Current Yr9’s – New GCSE Maths and English (9-1 Grade) and all other GCSE’s (A*-G)
• Current Yr 8’s – All new GCSE’s (Grades 9-1)
What’s different for the new GCSE’s?
• All Linear (examined at the end of the course – no modular exams)
• They will be ‘harder’ • They will be graded 9-1 as
opposed to A*-G

Why are we so happy about these new measures?
• Progress 8 takes into account the progress of all students – not just C/D borderline
• We make excellent progress with our students, this measure will demonstrate this and allow us to fully embrace our school vision.
