DfE: Percentage of schools providing access to extended servicesThis publication supports measurement of the previous government's National Indicator 88 (percentage of schools providing access to extended services). The edition published in June 2010 showed that 99% of schools are providing access to the full range of extended services. Following consultation with the Treasury and the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Department for Education (DfE) has confirmed that from 6 September, Local Authorities will no longer need to collect and submit data to support NI88. The Statistical Release scheduled for publication in October has therefore been cancelled and no further editions are planned.
DfE: GCSE and Equivalent Results in England - August 2010
The Statistical First Release (SFR) on GCSE and Equivalent Results will be published on 21 October 2010. Users are invited to comment on the proposal to include international GCSEs (iGCSEs) in this and related publications. Comments should be sent to our Statistical Attainment mailbox by 8 September. Comments are requested by this date because the Department's checking exercise commences later in September when schools are asked to check the results prior to their inclusion in the school performance tables.
Department for Education (DfE) statisticians propose to include international GCSEs (iGCSEs) in:
- the SFR for 2009/10 in October 2010; this will contain provisional national and local authority results,
- the SFR for 2009/10 in January 2011; this will contain revised national and local authority results, and
- the school performance tables for 2009/10 in January 2011; this will contain revised school results.
- "Legacy" iGCSEs i.e. those achieved by students in 2010 which have been accredited at the time the data are collated for publication, will be included.
- iGCSEs in English, First Language English and English Language will be counted in the English and Maths component, but iGCSE English Literature will not.
- Ofqual's subject matter expert advice will be followed on which iGCSEs are suitable for the Language and Science indicators.
On 7 June, DfE Ministers lifted restrictions that stopped state schools offering iGCSE qualifications in key subjects and announced their intention to include iGCSE results in school performance tables as soon as possible.
DfE: User Consultation of Statistical Publications
DfE aims to make its statistics relevant and useful. To meet these aims the Department is carrying out user consultations to review a number of statistical publications. Further details on how users can contribute to specific reviews, including a list of publications under review, or comment more generally on the whole publication portfolio can be found here.
