KS4
Key Stage 4 and 16 to 18 validated performance measures were published by the Secretary of State for the 2021 to 2022 academic year in February 2023. This data was based on tests, exams and assessments from the 2021 to 2022 academic year. Given the uneven impact of the pandemic on school and college performance data, the government has said direct comparisons between the performance data for one school or college and another, or to data from previous years should not and can not be made accurately.

KS5
Advanced level qualifications (level 3)
"Due to the way that grades were awarded during the COVID-19 pandemic, qualification results achieved between January 2020 and August 2021, by students included in this year’s measures, are not included in the calculations. This may have had an impact on the results for this school or college, and we recommend that comparisons are not made with data from previous years, or directly with other providers. Comparisons to the local and national average should be made with caution.
Progress (value-added) measures were not produced at 16-18 this year as grades achieved between January 2020 and August 2021 would be required. 16-18 progress measures will return from 2023/24.
