4 Introduction Alps (Advanced Level Performance System) is the result of over 0 years of careful research and development, initially at Greenhead College, Huddersfield, by Dr Kevin Conway CBE, the Principal, and over the last fifteen years at Alps. All our development in this time has been geared to helping staff in schools and colleges and their advisory colleagues at local authority and academy chain levels to enhance the recruitment, retention and achievements of students studying A level, AS level, BTEC National and KS qualifications. Each year our reports cover over % of all A levels nationally, and are taken by over,0 schools and colleges. Alps has been developed educationally by teachers for teachers and we believe this is one key factor for its popularity. There are three sets of principles which underpin all our work Firstly, the simple idea that each of us is an individual, an exception and needs to be valued Secondly, that aspiration, inspiration and motivation are key elements needed in work with young people Thirdly, powerful leadership and high quality teaching and learning, coupled with high quality target-setting, monitoring, guidance and support are the three elements that define good schools and colleges. (Constant organisational change does not!) Powerful Alps schools work to these principles consistently year on year and their students benefit. Over time, we have risen from around 0 schools and the collective group of Sixth Form Colleges in 00 to over,0 schools, academies, sixth form colleges and FE colleges, representing over % of students taking A levels. We have a presence in every LA in the country. The key feedback we have received and continuously work on is that the presentation of our reports is simple to understand while creating a powerful common language for students, staff, governors, parents and LA staff alike. The performance indicators we have developed and continue to develop are each significant in their own right for each provider. Summative reports for LAs and groups of providers, such as trusts, allow the identification of good practice down to subject/course level which can be spread between providers in organised training sessions. Alps reports and training are aids to culture change, within senior leadership teams, for staff and for students. They challenge participants to continuously improve incrementally to the levels of the th percentile providers. They identify strengths and weaknesses on a nine point scale, first developed by Alps, so that good practice can be shared and weaknesses can be strengthened. It is a positive process. What defines us ahead of others is the timeliness of our reports, which can be available for the start of the Autumn term, the clear yet detailed presentation of analysis in the reports as well as the ease of sending in the data we require. However, the biggest difference is that we do not just give information, but are available to deliver best practice training. New for 0 New Quality Indicator and T Scores In 0 we have decided to replace the VA Quality and Breadth Indicator with our new Quality Indicator. One of the drivers of this is the developing linear landscape and optional nature of the standalone AS exams. This would have made an indicator dependent on breadth of provision unfair on schools not entering students for standalone AS exams in 0. However we see many other advantages to introducing this new indicator. Firstly, it will allow all A level results to be evaluated, whereas the VA Q&B Indicator only included results of students taking or more A levels. Secondly, schools and colleges with students on mixed academic and vocational programmes will not be disadvantaged, for example, if they are taking A levels and a BTEC. Thirdly, the VA Q&B Indicator like the UCAS points per student Performance Tables measure could reward schools or colleges for concentrating on the quantity of qualifications taken rather than the quality of individual grades. This brings me to our main driver. Put simply, the quality of the individual grade matters more to each student than the quantity of qualifications taken. This does not mean we no longer think it important that each student should be on a full programme of study, typically A levels or the equivalent. We do! Our Quality Indicator is based on adding up the total UCAS points achieved in subjects and measuring this against the total expected UCAS points (at the th percentile) in those subjects. In a nutshell, this new indicator is an accurate reflection of the quality of your overall performance per subject. The switch from the VA Quality & Breadth grade to the Quality Indicator will impact on your overall T, as this is an average of your Red and Blue Teaching grades and the Quality Indicator. In your 0 report we are showing you how you would have d against the new Quality Indicator in previous years so your T for those years in the 0 report may not match the T s for those years in your 0 report. AS level Alps report 0 Alkemygold Ltd

5 Any new system is bound to generate winners and losers. Modelling the Quality Indicator against previous years results shows us that those whose Quality Indicator for 0 is lower than their VA Q&B grade generally had a total UCAS points boosted by taking more subjects per student than the th percentile nationally. Updated BTEC Benchmarks and Minimum Expected Grades for 0 We have updated our Alps BTEC benchmarks in our main BTEC report and our Certificate and 0-credit Diploma reports for 0. The updated benchmark tables and revised Alps minimum expected grades to be used with your students can be found in your BTEC report. The new Alps benchmarks are produced using the full national dataset from the Department for Education. Our analysis this year has shown that the year on year improvement in vocational results has continued across all eleven Alps bands, and we concluded that the change was significant enough to require updated benchmarks for 0. We are aware that teaching starts on the new BTEC suite in September 0. Once we have the results of these new courses we will review the targets and benchmarks for 0 in light of any changes across our BTEC reports. The new benchmarks will be applied to the 0 data only in your BTEC reports. A level and AS level no change to benchmarks for 0 Following our analysis of the full DfE data, we will not be changing our A level and AS level Alps benchmarks and minimum expected grades for the coming year. The analysis of the DfE data showed that there is little change in value added terms in the outcomes of these qualifications. As with the BTEC reports, we will review this again for 0. Pages recommended for use with governors G In 0-, we delivered a significant amount of training for governors, usually through local authority Governor Services. During this training we are often asked which pages are most useful for governors and indeed which pages should be shared with governors. We have decided this year to identify the following pages with our governor mark. For ease of use, pages with this logo on them are suitable for use with governors:. Raw results. Strategic Overview. Banded by ability - year summary. Subject Value Added Overview Finally Government policies in education over the past few years have radically changed the landscape with schools, new academies and free schools now co-existing. We also see new groupings of schools in trusts, federations and consortia emerging alongside different roles for local authorities. Post- funding will continue to be squeezed, and the role of local authorities is being developed with increased demands on school improvement services. Alps reports have been used in Ofsted and Estyn inspections by many schools to support judgements. It is official policy that where Alps reports are made available, they must be given due consideration by inspectors. The timeliness of our reports has often come into play here, especially in showing up-to-date progress. The uniqueness of our year profile of A, AS, BTEC National and KS reports is especially helpful. Our helpdesk is always on hand at inspection time! We remain happy to help any school, academy, college or LA to implement Alps systems using our highly qualified and experienced trainers, all of whom have been or are in senior positions in top performing schools and colleges.

8 Alps AS level - Calculation of the average GCSE. The process we are looking at compares input data derived from students GCSE results at the start of level AS level courses with output data relating to results at AS level and Applied AS level.. Input data The input data is an average GCSE calculated for each student. The calculation includes the best grade for each GCSE. GCSE points: Each subject is given points as shown below. The calculation is based on all GCSEs taken. Qualification GCSE equivalents A* A B C D E F G U Full GCSEs 0 Short GCSEs QCA points: The points s are a different scale to the GCSE points s above. Qualification GCSE equivalents A* A B C D E F G U Full GCSEs 0 0 Short GCSEs QCA points remain in this report for your convenience to show equivalency to the average GCSE. However, it is the average GCSE that is used in all calculations. Note: We do not include BTEC First awards or equivalent, level or key skills qualifications in the GCSE as they distort the input data, they inflate a students GCSE and can lead to unrealistic level target grades for the student.. Output data Only results for AS levels are included. We exclude AS level general studies and the Extended Project Qualification as these distort outcomes.. s have been allocated output s based on the system of UCAS scoring.

9 Alps AS level - Explanation of the Alps grading system Using the national dataset supplied to Alps by the Department for Education (, sets,, students,,0,0 AS levels taken). In Section B, your school/college data for AS levels is compared to the Alps benchmarks created from the full DfE national dataset.. There are key indicators for you to consider, which should help you as a school or college to create agendas for development leading to higher levels of recruitment, retention and achievement. Analysis of students banded by ability Quality Indicator Subject value added overview Quality of teaching and learning measurement Alps T s Single subject reports performance overview. Throughout the analytical section there is a common grading system that works at three levels which are interlinked and allow a reader to look at the analysis at different depths.. These are: Matching top %+ RED Alps grades - Matching middle 0% BLACK Alps grades - Matching bottom %- BLUE Alps grades -. Colours RED means your performance is within or exceeds the top % of the AS level benchmark for the indicator. BLUE means your performance is within or worse than the bottom % of the AS level benchmark for the indicator.. Alps grades - basis of the grading system 00% 0% % 0% 0% % 0% Bottom ---- Alps grade - better or equal to the best achieved in the indicator - Outstanding ---- Alps grade - scoring between the 0th and th percentile - Outstanding ---- Alps grade - scoring between the th and th percentile - Excellent ---- Alps grade - scoring between the 0th and th percentile - Very good ---- Alps grade - scoring between the 0th and th percentile - Satisfactory to Good ---- Alps grade - scoring between the th and th percentile - Below average ---- Alps grade - scoring between the 0th and th percentile - Less than satisfactory ---- Alps grade - scoring between the st and th percentile - Relatively poor ---- Alps grade - scoring below the lowest achieved in the indicator - Poor The challenge is to get out of the BLUE and move towards the RED. If you are already in the RED the challenge is to stay there. Continuous improvement is the underlying theme.. Alps value added s - there are ranges of value added s ranked by provider from the Alps national database in a variety of formats which are described on the following pages.

10 Alps AS level - National benchmark Using the national dataset supplied to Alps by the Department for Education (, sets,, students,,0,0 AS levels taken) Performance per subject. The Alps benchmarks are created from the results of the complete national dataset supplied to Alps by the Department for Education.. The results of these examinations are displayed in Table on the page opposite in bands according to student GCSE s. These are taken as a baseline measure of students abilities and application at the start of their level courses. There are key GCSE bands with GCSE s ranging from..0 (.0-.0 points) to 0.0 <.0 (0.0 <.0).. For each band, the sets of data have been ranked according to the UCAS per subject entry in Table. From the ranking, s have been tabulated from best to worst at the specific percentiles shown.. For example, looking at the subject data for the, students with GCSE s of. <. (. <. points), equivalent to around grades of B at GCSE, shows that students in the best provider averaged a grade B- (. points) but students in the worst provider averaged a grade E- (.0 points) per subject entry.. The aspiration is for all providers to achieve the s at or greater than the th percentile, by focusing on both strengths and weaknesses and using the experiences of the stronger departments/institutions to promote good practice to those showing relative weakness. This may take one year, or maybe more depending on your starting position.. Table does not include AS level general studies and the Extended Project Qualification. GCSE s do not include other courses such as key skills as these distort aspirational target grades, leading to a flawed methodology.. Table extracts the data from the th percentile row from Table and expresses these s as Alps national minumum expected grades that students should be aiming for relative to their incoming average GCSE s.

13 What an Alps of.0 means in this report Using the national dataset supplied to Alps by the Department for Education (, sets,, students,,0,0 AS levels taken). The Alps benchmarks are created from the results of the complete national dataset supplied to Alps by the Department for Education.. The benchmark is used to create aspirational minimum expectations for all schools and colleges that are involved in using Alps systems to raise student and staff esteem and achievement. This will be used as a fixed point against which schools and colleges can measure themselves and their annual progress.. The Alps methodology is based on groups of students. On any benchmark thermometer within the report, if the Actual UCAS points equals the Expected UCAS points then the will be.0. ( Actual UCAS points Expected UCAS points ) Alps measure = + Number of students # x 0 ~ # In some circumstances the number of students is replaced with the number of entries, for example with double awards. ~ This part of the denominator varies to maintain the concept that 0. = grade per entry.. The Expected UCAS points is based on the performance of the top % of schools and colleges in each of the Alps average GCSE bands. The premise being that if the students in each ability band can achieve these outcomes then this should be the ambition for all students and staff.. A of.0 for a year group in a school or college means that on average, across all subjects, students have achieved the expected UCAS points. This accurately reflects the quality of the provider s student group measured relative to their GCSE s. Subject Entries Expected pts Actual pts Alps Alps grade Subject A, Subject B 0,.00,0.0 Subject C Subject D,.00, Totals 0,.,0 Table In table as the difference between the Total Expected points and the Total Actual points tends to zero, then when divided by the number of entries the Alps will tend to.0.. At a subject level, an Alps of.0 means that on average, students in this subject group achieved the expected UCAS points. However, subject thermometers show that some students will need to exceed their minimum expected grades to match the top % of departments for that subject. It is essential that all staff understand their own subject thermometer, as performance management is based on the performance of the students in their subject compared to the subject s performance nationally, and not just the target grades for students. AS level Alps report 0 Alkemygold Ltd

14 Alps AS level - Explanation of a subject thermometer. Each Alps indicator has a benchmark thermometer. The thermometer is created by taking s achieved by every school and college included in that indicator and ranking these from best (top) to worst (bottom). Scores at key percentiles are then used to benchmark your performance. Each percentile is also given an Alps grade. Alps grades The numbers running down the centre of the thermometers show how Alps grades are identified for this indicator. These run from (best) to (worst). The grades are related exactly to the percentiles as shown. 00% 0% % 0% 0% % 0% Bottom ---- Alps grade - better or equal to the best achieved in the indicator - Outstanding ---- Alps grade - scoring between the 0th and th percentile - Outstanding ---- Alps grade - scoring between the th and th percentile - Excellent ---- Alps grade - scoring between the 0th and th percentile - Very good ---- Alps grade - scoring between the 0th and th percentile - Satisfactory to Good ---- Alps grade - scoring between the th and th percentile - Below average ---- Alps grade - scoring between the 0th and th percentile - Less than satisfactory ---- Alps grade - scoring between the st and th percentile - Relatively poor ---- Alps grade - scoring below the lowest achieved in the indicator - Poor The challenge is to get out of the BLUE and move towards the RED. If you are already in the RED the challenge is to stay there. Continuous improvement is the underlying theme.. Each provider will receive a subject analysis with a set of subject value added s. This will show you exactly where your school/college is performing for each subject relative to the Department for Education national dataset for that subject, represented in the form of a thermometer on the next page.. The scale on the thermometer is created from the subject value added s achieved by groups of generally 0+ taking the subject, collected from the national dataset. Numbers of groups vary by subject depending on its popularity nationally. However, where more than % of students are taught in groups of fewer than 0, we include a sufficient number of groups to make up to % of students taking the subject irrespective of size.. On the thermometer opposite, these s are ranked from best to worst.. Scores are highlighted at key percentiles (0th, th, 0th, 0th, th etc.). You can see with your own at what percentile you reside for each subject for each year. AS level Alps report 0 Alkemygold Ltd

16 Alps AS level - Subject value added s at different percentiles. The next table shows subject value added s for AS level subjects. Column identifies the subject. Columns and give the number of students and sets of data collected for the subject. For statistical robustness, we have included results from departments where at least 0 or more students completed the AS level so long as this represents at least % of students taking the subject overall. However, where more than % of students are taught in groups of fewer than 0, we include a sufficient number of groups to make up % of students taking the subject irrespective of group size.. Columns to show the s achieved by the individual institutions at a range of percentiles.. The s in the horizontal row for mathematics are exactly the same as on the mathematics thermometer on the previous page.. The challenge is to get to and consistently beat the at the th percentile, and particularly to look for systematic change that gets you out of the BLUE region if that is where you are at present. Showing how this table takes account of subject variations nationally. This table provides targets for individual subjects that take account of the national variations in these subjects. It is clear that the th percentile, for example, varies from subject to subject. The th percentile for AS level English language is. which is the of the English department placed % from the best for that subject. For AS level physics, the equivalent is 0.. As a difference of 0.0 represents exactly one grade per entry difference, and we have a difference of 0. here, then this suggests that a student with an equal flair for both will achieve around grade less on average in AS level physics than in AS level English language if both departments are operating at the level of the th percentile.. As an aside, the usual explanation is that physics and other science subjects are harder, but there are other equally compelling evidential arguments about the quality of teaching and learning nationally in these subjects. Equally there has to be a question as to whether the grade boundaries for physics relative to most other subjects set by examiners continues to be valid.. The table can be used to create reasonable targets. A department can then look at systems for improvement. For example, a provider with an AS level English language & literature of 0. sits at the th percentile mark, grade / boundary. To move to.0, grade, requires an increase of 0., equivalent to 0. of a grade per student. Put another way, out of of the students need to rise by one grade to get to.0, an achievable and concrete target for improvement.. The question for the department then is what do we need to do to make the change happen? Applying this analysis to all departments provides the lever for continuous improvement.. Collectively, if we continuously improve incrementally in this way we can raise the grades of a significant number of students which improves both their life chances and their self-esteem. 0. A question that often arises in training sessions is why do we not differentiate target grades depending on the difficulty of subjects? The th percentile for AS level English literature is.0, for AS level mathematics it is 0., so why is the target grade the same when it appears there is a difference between subjects at the th percentile? Target grades are set to create a of.00 irrespective of perceived differences between subjects. To get a red grade requires a different VA depending on the subject. The reasons for these differences are complex - some might say it reflects subject difficulty, others the quality of resources, or teaching, or the structure of the exam, or perhaps even the UMS/raw mark grade boundaries. It certainly reflects the comparative performance across these subjects in schools and colleges nationally. In AS level maths, out of 0 students would have to hit their target grade for the subject to be a grade (since the VA boundary is 0.), whereas in AS level sociology, half the students will have to exceed their target grade for the subject to be in the top % (since the subject VA boundary is.0).

The Alps (Advanced Level Performance System) uses the complete national dataset from the Department for Education for all schools and colleges.. Remember that there is no one Alps that stands above the others they are all there to be used to help you analyse and improve performance in A level outcomes. In each of the measures below, results in general studies and EPQ are not included.. The RED teaching and learning is a measure of what proportion of your teaching across all subjects is excellent or outstanding. It works by adding together the number of all the exam entries in subjects which d, or and comparing it with the number of entries overall.. The BLUE teaching and learning helps you gauge what proportion of your teaching across all subjects is less than satisfactory, or poor. It works by adding together the number of all the exam entries in subjects which d, or.. The Quality Indicator is a measure that looks at the performance across all your subjects. This is calculated by comparing the Alps expected UCAS points against the actual UCAS points achieved in each subject you offer.. The T is simply an average of the s for three measures Quality Indicator, RED teaching and learning and BLUE teaching and learning. You can use it to measure changes in overall quality year on year.. The Three year T summarises the total trend over the last years. It averages your single year T for the last three years.. An Alps of.0 means that the UCAS s for a year group were in line with their minimum expectations. 0. Subject national expected outcomes vary. If all students nationally achieved as expected the would be.0. If they achieved lower than expected the would be below.0. This helps you to know what departments need to do in order to improve. 0. is a grade.. The Performance Overview shows how each student performed in each course they took against the Alps minimum expected grades.. Throughout this analytical section, there is a common grading system that works at three levels which are interlinked and allow a reader to look at the analysis at different depths. These are: Matching top %+ RED Alps grades - Matching middle 0% BLACK Alps grades - Matching bottom %- BLUE Alps grades - AS level Alps report 0 Alkemygold Ltd

26 Alps - Analysis of students banded by ability year summary G Using the national dataset supplied to Alps by the Department for Education (, sets,, students,,0,0 AS levels taken) Table a - UCAS points per student The purpose of Table a is to show how your students are performing in terms of total AS level UCAS points per student against our benchmarks based on national data. The data in this table does not have any impact on the indicator grades in your Strategic Overview. To understand your performance fully you should compare the figures in this table with the data in your Performance Overview which shows all the qualifications taken by each student. This will enable you to see whether the students in an underperforming band have taken fewer than AS levels but have also taken additional vocational qualifications. This and the data in Table b below will clarify whether the underperformance in terms of UCAS points per student is caused by the quality of grades per entry or mixed programmes of study. Table b - UCAS points per subject This table shows how your students are performing in terms of total AS level UCAS points per subject against our benchmarks based on national data. Although the data in this table does not directly influence your Quality Indicator and grade it gives you a very clear picture about how the different prior attainment bands of students are performing in terms of points per entry. To understand your performance fully you should compare the figures in this table with the data in your Performance Overview which shows all the qualifications taken by each student. This will enable you to see whether students in each band have either consistently met aspirational Alps minimum expected grades in subjects or consistently underperformed in subjects. If the latter, investigate the causes which might link to insufficiently robust IAG or inaccurate assessment and progress tracking or a lack of differentiation in the classroom or ineffective support. Table c - Subjects taken per student This table shows how your students are performing in terms of total AS levels taken in comparison to national figures. The data in this table does not have any impact on the indicator grades in your Strategic Overview. To understand your performance fully you should compare the figures in this table with the data in your Performance Overview which shows all the qualifications taken by each student. This will enable you to see whether students who have taken fewer than AS levels have taken additional vocational qualifications. We are aware that subjects taken per student may well fluctuate significantly, especially at AS, as we move into the linear landscape in England. AS level Alps report 0 Alkemygold Ltd

28 Alps AS level - Quality Indicator Using the national dataset supplied to Alps by the Department for Education (, sets,, students,,0,0 AS levels taken) The Quality Indicator measure is an overall performance indicator that shows your performance across all courses. The Quality Indicator thermometer is created from the Alps benchmark, showing you how your performance compares with other schools across the country. Your is given an Alps grade. These run from (best) to (worst). The grades are related exactly to the thermometer shown on the page opposite. Your analysis The page opposite shows the calculation for your Quality Indicator. Subject performance table This table shows your subjects for the current year. Column lists the subjects included in your report for the current year Column shows the number of entries in each subject Column shows the expected points based on the Alps benchmark Column shows the actual points achieved in each subject Column shows the Alps for the subject Column shows the Alps grade for the subject The cells for each subject are colour coded Results above the benchmark % are highlighted in red and show excellent achievement. Results between the benchmark % and % are highlighted in black. This indicates very good to below average performance. Results below the benchmark % are highlighted in blue. This indicates relatively weak performance. The values in columns - for each subject match the values on each individual subject page and the subject value added overview page. At the bottom of the table are totals across all subjects for entries, expected points and actual points. These values are used to calculate the Quality Indicator. Value added calculation The Alps Quality Indicator calculation is: ( Actual points Expected points ) AS level Quality Indicator = + (Number of entries x 0) AS level Quality Indicator grade Your AS level Quality Indicator is compared to the Alps benchmark thermometer to provide your Quality Indicator grade. This is shown by the arrow on the thermometer on the opposite page. It shows how your performance compares with other providers in the Alps benchmark. AS level Alps report 0 Alkemygold Ltd
