Another day, another post about Key Stage 5 subject choice.
This time we’re going to look at prior attainment. We’ll focus on the GCSE English and maths grades of students taking different subjects post-16.
We’ll be using data from the Key Stage 4 and 5 exam tables in the National Pupil Database and focusing on students in state-funded schools who took exams in 2021. We will only be including Key Stage 5 subjects studied by 5,000 or more students.
