After clicking the View KS4 PM button, it will take you to the Attainment Measures screen, which includes four bar charts showing your Attainment 8 Average, EBacc Average Point Score, Percentage English & Maths Grade 4+ and the same for Grade 5+. The bars are colour coded, showing the different Gradepoints included in your trend. The charts will also display the comparison field chose in the Select Comparison drop down, in the example below Disadvantage has been selected:
Below the bar charts, as indicated above, there are 7 drop down tables available, each breaking down the labelled metrics. Clicking on each one will expand the table as indicated below. You can use the %/Count Toggle to change your metrics between percentage and number of students. You can also export any table to Excel, using the blue export button.
Progress 8 Measures
