A Level Analysis

Whilst there is much in the press about A Level results we recommend the analysis from FFT which gives real facts and figures, rather than anecdotal stories. interesting in particular to note this year that the disparity between regions continues. London sees almost 33% of pupils gaining As and above compared to just 22% in the East Midlands. Also interesting to see that Further Maths and Modern Languages remain those with the highest proportion of the top grades. This analysis really is useful for Heads of Departments benchmarking their performance, enabling them to make comparisons based on school type, region and subject. You can see it in full here.?

VAT and January call for data

You may have seen that a new group, the Chairs, Heads, and Bursars (CHB), are calling for data to better understand the effect on state schools that January's VAT implementation date will have.

We are supporting Jamie Harle and the CHB by hosting the survey so that it can achieve a national accurate picture without commercial sensitivity being a factor. To date there is no clear picture of what? that pupil movement will do to state schools, especially regionally or when considering SEND provision. The survey wants to show how many parents will have given a terms notice by 7 September.

The CHB are working with other groups across various challenges and will ensure that this is fed into the public consultation by 15 September, whilst staying coordinated with other actions from other groups.?

We look forward to hosting an extraordinary webinar with the CHB on "VAT: The January to September logic and associated actions" on Wednesday 28th August at 10:30 please click here to register and you are also invited to join the CHB group here https://www.dhirubhai.net/groups/13069703.?
