Value Added
Our most important examination statistic is for ‘Value Added’. This is the measure of improvement that our pupils make from joining the school in Year 7 to achieving their GCSE results. We admit girls with a wide range of ability to Sutton High School, and we challenge them to achieve their own personal best.
On their first day of Year 7, all pupils (across the country) take a baseline test which uses statistical analysis to predict, based on their ability scores, the results they have the potential to obtain for GCSE. A school’s ‘Value Added’ score is the difference between these initial predictions of potential and the actual results obtained by pupils for GCSE.
At Sutton High this score is 1.5, meaning that, on average, girls here attain 1.5 grades higher, in every subject, than their ability score on entry to our school. As an example, in English Language, our ‘Value Added’ score is 2.0, meaning that a pupil arriving at Sutton High School with a prediction of a 6 in English, is likely to attain an 8 at GCSE. This is referred to as the value we add, through teaching and through the education we offer. We believe this reflects the dedicated work of our pupils and the excellent support they are given by our staff.
GCSE Results 2022
Pupils celebrated a superb set of GCSE results this year. With four pupils gaining straight 9 grades and a quarter of all pupils with straight 8 and 9 grades (A*).
Over half of our pupils have secured all of their GCSE grades at A or A* level and we are delighted that our results are in line with the teacher-assessed grades of 2021 (with 86% of grades at a 7, 8 or 9 in both years) and significantly above the grades in the last year of actual examinations (2019), with over twice the number of the top grade 9 (37%) and two-thirds of grades at A* (8/9).
We are so much more than just excellent results, but these superb grades at GCSE and A Level show the grit, determination and intelligence of our girls, and their willingness to push themselves to excel in their learning. I am so proud of all they have achieved.
