Performance measures based on qualification results from 2022/23 cannot be directly compared to measures from 2021/22. This is because a different grading approach was used in 2021/22, to take account of the impact of the pandemic.
In 2022/23 there was a return to pre-pandemic standards for GCSEs, AS and A levels, with protection built into the grading process to recognise the disruption that students have faced. For VTQs that are taken alongside, or instead, of GCSEs and A levels, there was also a return to pre-pandemic standards in 2022/23. For many students, results from 2021/22 adapted assessments were used towards qualifications in 2022/23.
More information on qualification grading approaches for this year and last year can be found at Exam results 2023: 10 things to know about GCSE, AS and A level grades – The Ofqual blog and Vocational and technical qualifications grading in 2023 – The Ofqual blog
There are also other factors affecting 2022/23 performance measures, following the COVID-19 pandemic, which should be considered when using secondary performance measures. These include:
- 2022/23 performance measures may include some qualification grades that were awarded in 2021/22 using a different grading approach.
- Results achieved between January 2020 and August 2021, by pupils included in 2022/23 measures, are not included in the calculations.
- The ongoing uneven impacts of the pandemic on different schools/ colleges and pupils.
For more information on how we calculate performance measures, and the factors affecting measures for 2022/23, please see the KS4 technical guide.
