Abstract

Within the context of educational policy, a school’s educational performance is conventionally measured by the proportion of its Year 12 students (that is the year in which pupils sit their GCSE examinations) who at their GCSE examination obtain grades A*−C in five or more subjects, including English and Mathematics. Hereafter, this level of performance is represented as 5 + A*−C (E&M) and referred to as ‘good GCSEs’. The minimum performance standard for post-primary schools in England is that at least 40% of a school’s Year 12 students should obtain good GCSEs (Torney, 2014).
