This Statistical First Release published on 21 October 2004 (SFR37/2004) provided the earliest information on the overall achievments of young people in GCSE and equivalent examinations. It was based on data unchecked by schools. The information in this SFR is based on that collated for the 2004 Secondary School (GCSE and equivalents) Achievement and Attainment tables and has now been checked by schools.
This SFR also includes information on KS2 to KS3 to GCSE (and equivalents) Value Added measures which were not published in the earlier SFR. This SFR also shows the progress being made towards achieving the Departmental Targets for 16 year olds - including progress towards the school level target, which was not reported in the provisional results.
