Average Attainment 8 score - pupils known to be eligible for free school meals (6053) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the average Attainment 8 score for pupils who are eligible for free school meals (FSM). Attainment 8 measures pupils' attainment across eight qualifications. These are: 1) A double weighted maths element that will contain the point score of the pupil's English Baccalaureate (EBacc) maths qualification. 2) An English element based on the higher point score of a pupils EBacc English language or English literature qualification. This will be double weighted provided a pupil has taken both qualifications. 3) An element which can include the three highest point scores from any of the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) qualifications in science subjects, computer science, history, geography, and languages. 4) An open element for the three highest point scores in any three other subjects, including English language or literature (if not counted in the English slot), further GCSE qualifications (including EBacc subjects) or any other technical awards from the from the Department for Education (DfE) approved list. If a pupil has not taken the maximum number of qualifications that count in each group then they will receive a point score of zero where a slot is empty. In 2016, changes were introduced to key stage 2 (KS2) outcomes in English reading and maths. They are now reported as scaled scores instead of national curriculum levels.

Instead, for 2020/21, pupils were only assessed on the content they had been taught for each course. Schools were given flexibility to decide how to assess their pupils' performance.
