Headstart 2013 Final Results Summary and Analysis.
1. Introduction.
Welcome to the Headstart validated final results analysis for your centre. This unique summary is based
on the data recorded for your centre in the National Pupil Dataset (NPD) and the Department for
Education (DfE) Level 3 Value Added (VA) analysis and Performance Tables for 2013. All comparative
measures are derived from the data of maintained sector providers using the complete national dataset
and benchmarks. This provides comparison with the validated DfE reports and analysis for 2013 Level 3
results and trend information from previous years where possible.
The summary provides an overall analysis and individual subject report for Level Three outcomes. It
allows you to see a detailed overview of your provision for 2012/13 and also provides an analysis of each
subject. The report provides a structure that is easily readable through both tabular and graphical
presentation. Our aim is to make the summary accessible to a wide range of audiences and facilitate
positive and effective discussion, identifying strengths and areas for development. The intention in our
work is that the data is seen as providing a key perspective on performance to support development,
avoiding any complexity in interpreting the figures. This, along with the information available within
your Centre, can then be used to inform and promote a positive approach to change where it is
necessary.
The overall analysis has six key elements:
1. Comparison of key DfE measures with national outcomes for the maintained sector;
2. Analysis for three age bands: Years 12, 13 and 14;
3. Academic and vocational course and entry volumes;
4. Entry and Achievement measures including value added for subjects;
5. Retention during the KS5 programme;
6. A subject sector analysis.
The individual subject reports include:
• Entry completions;
• Achievement measure;
• Value added outcomes;
• Charting of student outcomes compared with national values;
• Charting of grade distribution.
The summary will only include OFQUAL approved Level 3 Qualifications (Section 96 Learning and Skills
Act 2000) as reported in the NPD. Some minor qualifications and qualifications not listed in the DfE VA
may also be excluded.
Age Groups.
Age groups are the Department for Education (DfE) age groups. The measure is based on the age at
August 31st at the start of the reporting year. Year groups used in the report are those reported by your
centre. Year 14+ students are identified through their date of birth.
Gender.
Gender breakdowns are provided for key measures throughout the report.
Course coverage.
The summary includes all Level 3 courses as reported in the DfE Level 3 VA reports. Where possible it
will include information not included in these reports but available from other sources.
Academic and Vocational Breakdown.
In order to provide a comparison of both uptake and effectiveness, part of the analysis identifies
vocational and academic offers. Applied A and AS are included with A and AS outcomes in the academic
analysis, with the BTEC and OCR vocational offer as the vocational measure. This breakdown is
P age 2
Final R eport 2013
www.oxfordanalytics.org
additional to the DfE measures, where a separate consideration of vocational courses is now included
this year.
Value Added Measure.
The value added measures are the outcomes of the 2013 Level 3 VA Report from the DfE.
They are taken from the final validated results, which:
• provides a national set of basedata for comparison;
• OFSTED will be using as one of the measures until early 2015;
• uses values based on QCDA (now STA) points. With the change to grade proportions rather than
points, the table is available that will show the range of points attributed to each grade or level
of reported qualifications in previous years and can be used to provide the comparison with 2013
results*.
Sector Subject Analysis.
The relationship between employment and educational opportunity is becoming more significant in the
analysis of provision and accessibility. The Sector Subject Analysis (SSA) was originally designed by the
Learning and Skills Council and forms part of the continuing DfE reporting. As part of the analysis, our
report includes details of the national distribution as a comparison with your own provision.
Subject Summaries.
Notes to explain the analysis at subject level are provided at the start of that section. If individual
subject reports are provided to departments, it is essential that these notes be provided with
every subject summary.
Additional Resources:
Contracted reports are now supported with a datafile to allow centres to produce their own reports and
a collection of separate subject reports in pdf format to make the distribution of subject reports and
notes more straightforward.
Help, Support and Advice.
The understanding, interpretation and use of the summary are fully supported through e-mail and
telephone contact along with bespoke reviews, visits and training programmes. We will establish with
you an appropriate model to meet your needs. In order to provide high quality support we have
established a structure that includes a number of associates with specialist and up-to-date knowledge of
legislative and curricular changes, management, funding and assessment processes in the post-16 sector.

2. Centre Overview
Performance Overview
The first page of the analysis includes the key Level 3 measures currently being used in 2013 by
the DfE. Each measure includes both numerical and percentile comparisons.
Student and Entry Profiles
The student profile offers a summary of the numbers of students in different age groups and
course types. It differentiates between students covering the same course type in different age
groups (e.g. Y12 and Y13 students studying AS) and identifies Y14 students as a separate group.
Students without a GCSE on entry score are shown to identify the % of students that would be
included in a VA calculation for that particular group.
The Entry profile shows the number of entries undertaken and identifies the number of entries in
each category that will not have been included in the VA calculations.
Courses in the ‘Other’ category will be other Section 96 courses not included in the A, AS and
vocational sections. These will include CACHE, FSMQ, A2 taken in Y12 etc.
Course Overview
This section summarises courses and A level equivalence to provide an overview of course
distribution and completions. Where students are shown on the student profile but have no
completions, they will be shown at the bottom of the Student Numbers table. This can include
students who are taking vocational courses but have not finally completed the course within the
year.
Course and Entry Volumes
Course and entry profiles provide a comparison of the number of courses and entries offered for
each qualification and the percentage of those courses and entries based on equivalence to 1 A
Level. GCE Double Awards are included in the relevant AS or A totals.
‘% Fails’ is based on the total entry for that qualification compared with the number of U grades
reported. In this section of the report a Double Award AS or A2 counts as two entries. Vocational
courses do not report fails.
Achievement Analysis
The achievement values are calculated on the basis of all pass grades/total entries with Q and X
numbers not included in the count of total entries. A gender breakdown is included.
Subject Achievement and Progress Summary
The subject listing is taken from the DfE VA report. It is arranged by course type and then
alphabetically by subject. The listing allows you to see:
• entry profiles based on GCSE average point scores;
• number of entries;
• Average Points per subject Entry (APE) presented as a point score and grade equivalent
• VA score (as reported in the 2013 DfE Level 3 VA measure);
• % Achievement (No of passes/Total entry). Q and X outcomes are not included;
• shading of subjects with 5 or less entries. This is to highlight issues about the interpretation
of % achievement and VA scores due to low entry numbers;
• highlighted statistical significance for VA value.
Grade Distribution and Entry Banding.
In order to evaluate the progress made by students, this section of the summary considers
students in 4 entry bands, Very High, High, Mid and Lower, with an additional gender analysis.
Each course type and age band is evaluated in terms of outcome against entry band.
Where the student has no prior learning information, they are included in this section under
‘Unknown’. If there are no students with unknown prior learning, this column will not be shown.
Sector Subject Analysis.
This is a summary of your provision by sectors. This provides an analysis of provision in 15
categories related to employment. There is also a comparison with the national average
distribution.

Performance Overview
The following pages contain an overview at provider level of Student Numbers, Outcomes, Achievement
and Progress relating to information in the 2013 performance tables.
The Department for Education (DfE) is providing three breakdowns in terms of student cohort size and
outcomes for the 2012/13 cohort:
A Level Study only includes student results completing their A Level courses. It is calculated from the
final outcomes of A and AS Level courses (including Applied A-levels) of a course of study.
Academic includes GCE A, International Baccalaureate, Pre-U or AQA Baccalaureate qualifications. This
was reported last year as ‘A Level and Academic’.
Vocational outcome for significant courses is a new measure. The values are based on the BTEC Level 3
Subsidiary Diploma grade.
The A Level and Equivalent qualification measures have been withdrawn.
Student numbers are reported in two ways: Total number of students in each of the measures and the
number of full-time equivalents (FTE). The three measures continue to include Average points per
Student (APS) and Average Points per Entry (APE) this year.
NOTE: Changes in the methodology used to calculate the APS measures to use the full time equivalent
baseline, rather than the total number of students, means that three-year trends cannot be provided.
This report provides 3-year trend analysis for APE (with the exception of the A Level and Equivalent
qualification measure and the new vocational measures). The APE measures include both the point score
and qualification grade equivalence.
The Performance Tables have changed significantly this year, and now include Progress summaries (Value
Added) for each measure, with the value now being reported as a proportion of a grade NOT total point
scores. The overview now contains a summary of progress both for the Key DfE measures and
qualification types studied in your centre. The reporting of progress in AS has also changed. This is now
the outcomes for completers in 2013 (i.e. Y13), with the values being reported as ‘All AS’(including all AS
qualifications completed by this cohort) and ‘AS not continued’ (AS that were completed but not carried
through as an A2 course). Statistical significance is highlighted (green+, amber -) where relevant.
Further breakdowns include ‘Facilitating Subjects’. A number of subjects and their associated grades
have been identified as reflecting requirements for entry to top universities. In DfE measures these are:
Mathematics and Further Mathematics, English Literature, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Geography,
History, Languages (classical and modern).
All measures in this report are based on maintained sector provision.
The National Maintained Average includes all post-16 providers within the maintained sector only.
These values relate directly to DfE reporting.
‘KS5 students’ refers to all students completing KS5 Level 3 courses in maintained sector provision.
The +/- column shows a difference between the centre and National Maintained Average. Three levels
are shown:
Above national
Close to
Below national
≈
average
national
average
average
Where percentages are reported, those close to the national average are within +/- 5% of the national
maintained average.
The National Maintained Percentile Band is based on the median of provider values. This places your
centre in terms of the overall outcomes for maintained sector providers, excluding FE, tertiary colleges
and Special Schools. This is based on the distribution of maintained sector providers ranked from lowest
to highest. Typically a 10% band is quoted, such as “55-65%” indicating that the value falls between the
55th and 65th percentiles. The banding is adjusted for some measures where many providers have
identical values. For example 25% of all centres have 0% of A Level students achieving AAB in facilitating
subjects. Therefore there is no 15-25% band - all centres with 0% are in the “Lowest 25%” band.
The national maintained averages are based on average student outcomes, while the percentiles are
derived from provider average values. This can result in significant variation in the distribution between
the two measures. A centre can be above the National Maintained Average but below the 50th percentile.

Qualification Value Added Summary
The DfE Level 3 VA report includes VA values for different types of qualification. This year the
values are being reported as proportions of a grade, not in point score differences. Where the
value is of statistical significance, this is shown in the shading of the title of the qualification
(Green + and amber -). The chart uses 0 as the baseline with the blue bar representing the
value and red bar being the confidence interval.
Note: AS outcomes are not those for Y12 2013. They are the values for 2013 completers
(mainly 2012 AS results). AS (all) includes all AS results for completing students and AS (not
continued) includes AS results where the students did not continue that subject to A2.

Distribution of grades by entry bands
In the following tables and charts students have been banded into four entry bands based on
GCSE scores on entry to post-16 courses. The 4 bands are:
Band
GCSE point range
Grade band
Very High
54.0 - 58
A*/A

3. Individual Subject Reports (2013 Final).
The subject reports are produced using validated data from the National Pupil Database (NPD)
and DfE Level 3 Value Added (VA) report for 2013. Students with X or Q reported outcomes will
be clearly identified in the tables and the entry chart, but not considered in the Achievement and
Value Added (VA) calculations.
The DfE Level 3 VA data in 2013 is now reported as proportions of a grade rather than QCA
points differences when compared with outcomes for similar students nationally. If the data
is compared with previous results this needs to be remembered.
The value added measures are the outcomes of the 2013 Level 3 VA Report from the DfE. They
are taken from the final validated results, which:
• provides a national set of basedata for comparison;
• OFSTED will be using as one of the measures until early 2015;
• uses values based on QCDA (now STA) points. With the change to grade proportions rather
than points, the table is available that will show the range of points attributed to each
grade or level of reported qualifications in previous years and can be used to provide the
comparison with 2013 results*.
Each report provides a summary in 3 sections.
The first section is a summary of the subject for 2012/13 in terms of:
• Entry numbers – all students reported for this subject in the NPD;
• The average entry level of students who are reported in the NPD;
• Average points per entry (APE) reported in the average STA points and grade equivalence;
• % Achievement – this is the proportion of pass grades achieved by the reported entry,
excluding any students who have a result of X or Q. This value is taken from NPD data
rather than the VA data as this will include all entries;
• VA Score- considers the progress of your students against similar students nationally.
Students who do not have a GCSE point score on entry to the course are not able to be
included in the VA calculation. The value is based on QCDA/STA point scores*. The
number of entries in the VA calculation is also shown;
• Changes in DfE VA reporting, A Level subject reports also include two possible additional
entries: the VA outcomes for this subject in the previous year’s AS results for courses not
continued to A2 and the overall AS outcomes. If all students continued to A2 the ‘AS Not
Continued’ will not be shown.
The chart matches Level 3 attainment against the uncapped GCSE point score on entry. This can
be compared with the national outcomes of similar students studying this subject and completing
in 2013, as represented by the blue line. Clearly there will be a range of results above and below
this line, but it provides an indicator of the average outcome of students with similar GCSE entry
values. The range of national data used is between GCSE point scores on entry of 38 – 58. The
number of values below 38 is very limited and has been shown to provide an unreliable baseline.
It is possible that a subject cannot be matched to data in the Level 3 VA analysis, in which case a
national line will not be shown.
The third element with a table and charts shows the distribution of final grades when compared
with the GCSE point score on entry in grade bands. This includes a gender analysis.
If the data in the subject report does not match your values, or you would have a question about
the report presentation or content, please ask your Data Manager or Senior Manager for Post-16
to submit a query.
*VA Values per Grade/Level are provided in the support document available from the FAQ
area of the www.oxfordanalytics.org website.
