In our previous post, we examined the severity of grading in GCSEs and other popular equivalent qualifications relative to GCSE English and maths in 2022.
As in our previous post, we use amended Key Stage 4 data for 2022 for pupils on roll in state-funded mainstream and special schools.
This contains results in all approved qualifications entered by pupils in GCSEs and equivalent qualifications. We restrict ourselves to just those qualifications that are in scope of Key Stage 4 Performance Tables.
For each pupil, we calculate their average grade in English language and maths. These are the two subjects we would expect the vast majority of pupils to enter.
