Statistics (Key Stage 3)

Jump to: Key Stage 4 | Background information | Absence

This page shows Key Stage 3 information and performance figures for St. Thomas à Becket College taken from the latest Secondary School (Key Stage 3) Achievement and Attainment tables. These tables give information about the National Curriculum Key Stage 3 (KS3) test results for maintained schools in England.

The Tables show:

background information for each school, including the proportion of pupils with special educational needs (SEN)
a contextual value added (CVA) measure and coverage percentage
the number of pupils eligible for KS3 assessment including the proportion of pupils with special educational needs (SEN)
the percentage of pupils achieving Level 5 or above and Level 6 or above at KS3 and the percentage of pupils absent from the tests or unable to access them
the average point score for the school
a bar chart showing results for the past four years.

The information on this website gives only part of the current picture of each school's and its pupils' achievements. Schools change from year to year and their future results may differ from those achieved by current pupils. Although CVA provides a fairer indication of a school's overall effectiveness, attainment measures showing test results continue to provide important information about school performance. The tables should be considered alongside other important sources of information such as Ofsted reports, school prospectuses and school profiles. Maintained schools, Academies, and City Technology Colleges must provide parents with prospectuses on request.

The School Profile was developed after consultation with schools, local authorities, governors, parents and pupils. It includes sections on the school's performance as well as narrative sections for the school to complete under a range of headings, including recent successes and intended improvements. School Profiles are accessible at http://www.schoolsfinder.direct.gov.uk
