Summary
The aim of this topic paper is to provide an analysis of the proportion of pupils taking GCSE and progressing to AS Level in the same subject (i.e. progression rates), focusing on English Baccalaureate subject areas, and then to follow the same cohort through from AS to full A Level achievement.
Data from the National Pupil Database was used to produce descriptive analyses regarding progression rates from GCSE (grades A*-C individually) to AS level for the cohort who completed Key Stage 4 in 2008 for a set of chosen subjects. Subjects assessed are biology, chemistry, physics, maths, English language, history, geography, French, German and Spanish. The publication also shows progression by KS4 institution type (independent schools, grammar schools, academies etc.).
The analysis then follows this cohort through to look at the progression rates for AS to A level and for GCSE to A Level (again by subject and institution type), and examines progression rates directly from GCSE to A Level by GCSE grade, including a comparison of GCSE grade to A Level grade achieved.
