Just before half-term the Department for Education published Progress 8 scores for secondary schools for the first time since 2019.
We’ve written before about the problems with Progress 8 and offered solutions for some of them. We’ll revisit some of these as the year progresses.
In this blogpost, we’re going to look at the relationship between Progress 8 scores and the number of qualifications entered by pupils.
Do schools which enter pupils for more qualifications tend to achieve higher (or lower) Progress 8 scores?
