Interpreting Progress Scores
Progress scores will be centred around 0, with most schools within the range of -5 to +5.
- A score of 0 means pupils in this school on average do about as well at KS2 as those with similar prior attainment nationally.
- A positive score means pupils in this school on average do better at KS2 as those with similar prior attainment nationally.
- A negative score means pupils in this school on average do worse at KS2 as those with similar prior attainment nationally.
A negative score does not mean that pupils did not make any progress, rather it means they made less progress than other pupils nationally with similar starting points.
For example, if a school has a Maths score of -4 this would mean that on average pupils in this school achieved 4 scaled scores less than other pupils nationally with similar starting points.
