Key stage 4 performance measures and targeted RISE extension

We are seeking views on proposals to improve key stage 4 academic performance measures and to extend school improvement support from the Department for Education’s targeted regional improvement for standards and excellence (RISE) service.

Our proposals aim to deliver a strong and fair accountability system, which will improve outcomes for all children, provide reliable information to parents, and support school improvement.

We are seeking views on:

• improving Progress 8 and Attainment 8 measures through a refreshed Progress 8 curriculum model
• a better way to recognise the progress of pupils with low prior attainment as part of improvements to the wider suite of additional performance measures
• extending targeted RISE support to primary and secondary schools with low achievement

More information about RISE is available.
