Quality Indicator
The strategic indicator known as the Quality Indicator (QI) tells you about the progress made across all examination entries ac the school or college.
It contains every grade taken by each subject and gives you a clear view of how your overall curriculum performed this year.
The subjects taken by more students will have most impact on this indicator, as well as their outcomes.
The QI compares your total actual points with the total expected points; therefore, if every student matched their 75th percentage target in each subject studied, your score would be 1.00.
Below is an extract from the Quality Indicator tab (A Level) in the strategic area of Connect showing the calculation made to determine the QI Score and the contribution of some of the examination subjects sat next to this score.
