Contextual Value Added and Data For Dummies The mystery explained
Objectives – to understand • Contextual Value added – how it is calculated and factors which affect it. • Performance descriptors “good”, “satisfactory” and “unsatisfactory”. • How Ofsted form judgements on performance data.
Objectives – to understand • Key Lessons from data analysis – self evaluation • What are we going to do about it? • Links with Performance Management and improvement plans (school and subject)
School Context “bulge” of average students
School Context “top slicing” of most able students
Value Added • Value added is a prediction based on prior attainment (in SATs (standard assessment tests) at the end of primary school (key stage 2 or KS2) • How does progress compare with the average progress made by students with the same prior attainment
Value Added - Definitions • Attainment, progress and achievement • Attainment – outcomes at KS4 (age 16) compared with the national averages • Achievement – how well a student does compared with his or her starting point • Progress – complicated but is a mix of achievement and attainment – a student can achieve well but make limited progress towards national attainment levels (Ofsted are more interested in progress)
Contextual Value Added Student Characteristics Student Outcomes at Age 16 (end of KS4) School Characteristics Prior attainment
Socioeconomic and Demographic – some factors included in CVA • Ethnicity – Gender – Age within year group • Special Educational Needs – in care – mobility • Deprivation indicator – free school meals • English as second language • Prior attainment (in English and Mathematics)
Progress – Value Added “measure of value added”
Progress – Less than Predicted “measure of under performance”
Progress - 2008 Seriously underachieving students
Progress - 2008 Above line is positive value
Progress – Broadly Average Range The middle 50% of children nationally fall into this range
Progress – “Good” Value Added Progress made by children in top 25% nationally
Progress – “Unsatisfactory” Value Added Poor progress made by children in bottom 25% nationally
Secondary Schools – relative performance Each 1% strip contains about 33 schools
Secondary Schools – relative performance “Median” position – comparing all schools by progress and achievement
Secondary Schools – relative performance 50% (percentile) is given a CVA score of 1000
Secondary Schools – middle 50% of all schools is “broadly average performance”
Secondary Schools – middle 50% of all schools is “broadly average performance” Moving towards the “good” schools
Secondary Schools – middle 50% of all schools is “broadly average performance” Moving towards the “unsatisfactory” schools
Secondary Schools – relative performance Above 25% are the “good” schools
Secondary Schools – relative performance Top end – the “outstanding” schools
Secondary Schools – relative performance Below 25% are the “unsatisfactory” schools
Secondary Schools – relative performance Bottom “very weak” schools – possible “special measures”
Secondary Schools – relative performance 1025 1005 995 980
Subject Performance at GCSE in 2009 8% more students got A-A* than expected – value added but not significant (top end of satisfactory) 58% predicted to get A-C, 76% achieved = significant value added = “good”
CVA – Individual Students • This student is predicted to get 8 GCSEs at grade C • Total points score = 320 • This is the FFT B (median) predictions • He gets 320 points • This student achieves 0 value added points.
CVA – Individual Students • This student is predicted to get 8 GCSEs at grade B from prior attainment. • Total points score = 384 • This is the FFT B (median) predictions • She gets 394 points • What is her value added score?
CVA – Individual Students • She is a girl and she gets free school meals (FSM) • Prediction from prior attainment = 384 points • Add 14 points (female) = 398 • Subtract 22 points for FSM • Total prediction = 376 • Value added = 18 points
