Introduction
Alps (Advanced Level Performance Systems) is the result of 25 years of careful research and development, initially
at Greenhead College, Huddersfield by Dr Kevin Conway CBE, the principal, and over the last thirteen years at Alps.
All our development in this time has been geared to helping staff in schools and colleges and their advisory colleagues
at Local Authority levels, to enhance the recruitment, retention and achievements of students studying A levels,
AS levels and BTEC National qualifications. Annually, our A level reports cover well over 70% of all A levels taken
nationally, with our reports taken by over 1,400 schools and colleges. Alps has been developed educationally
by teachers for teachers and we believe this is one key factor for its popularity.
There are three sets of principles which underpin all our work
Firstly, the simple idea that each of us is an individual, an exception and needs to be valued
Secondly, aspiration, inspiration and motivation are key elements needed in work with young people
Thirdly, powerful leadership and high quality teaching and learning, coupled with high quality target-setting,
monitoring, guidance and support are the three elements that define good schools and colleges.
(Constant organisational change does not!!!)
Powerful Alps schools work to these principles consistently year on year and their students benefit.
Over this past thirteen years, we have developed into a team of 22 employed staff with a further team of educational
consultants. We have some of the most outstanding educationalists at this level both past and present working
for us, as many of you will know from your training sessions. Equally, we are blessed with outstanding administrators
and technical staff. Our sole aim has been to develop our reports to give schools and colleges the clearest view
of where their performance lies for each individual student, for each subject/course department, for each provider
annually, and then to support any provider who asks for advice on how improvements can be made. As the decade
has progressed we have created summative reports for Local Authorities and groups of providers, federations
and trusts who have worked with their providers to improve performance.
Thus we have risen from around 40 schools and the collective group of Sixth Form colleges in 2001 to well over 1,400
schools, sixth form colleges and FE colleges, representing over 70% of students taking A levels. We have a presence
in every LA in the country.
The key feedback we have got and continuously work on is that the presentation of our reports is simple to understand
while creating a powerful common language for students, staff, parents and LA staff alike. The performance indicators
we have developed and continue to develop are each significant in their own right for each provider. Summative reports
for LAs and groups of providers, such as trusts, allow the identification of good practice down to subject/course level
which can be spread between providers in organised training sessions.
Alps reports and training are aids to culture change within senior leadership teams for staff and for students.
They challenge participants to continuously improve incrementally to the levels of the 75th percentile providers.
They identify strengths and weaknesses on a nine point scale, first developed by Alps, so that good practice can
be shared and weaknesses can be strengthened. It is a positive process.
What defines us ahead of others is the timeliness of our reports, which can be available for the start of the Autumn
term, the clear yet detailed presentation of analysis in the reports as well as the ease of sending in the data we
require. However, the biggest difference is that we do not just give information, but are available to help spread
the proper use of data in an integrated fashion through the training we offer.
In 2010 we introduced the progression measures from AS to A level in our student performance reports. This indicator
is a very significant one. It shows drop-out rates of over 20% nationally and identifies that providers are demanding
D grades and sometimes higher at AS level for progression. We passionately disagree with this as a policy in any
college/school. What futures do youngsters have who are prevented from continuing their courses in this way?
There are many examples of providers demonstrating that such students going on to be very successful at A level
when given the chance.

New Benchmarks for 2014

We have used the full Department for Education national dataset to create new benchmarks for our 2014 A level
and AS level reports. In the Alps BTEC reports this affects the Student Performance (A level & BTEC) Indicator only.
Each time we change benchmarks, the performance will change in your report relative to the previous year.
When we re-benchmark, only the top 25% of performers will receive a RED grade 1, 2 or 3, while only the bottom
25% of performers will receive BLUE grades of 7, 8 and 9 in the first year.
Obviously as we start anew, then, some centres that were RED will drop back to the BLACK in the first year with
a challenge to aim to break through to RED grades 1, 2 and 3 again.
The landscape of students programmes has changed over the last few years, due to a number of influences
including funding and students studying mixed programmes. Due to fluctuations in trends, in 2014, the new A level
and AS level benchmark tables (Tables 1a, 2a and 3a on pages 8, 9 and 10) have been created using students
who are studying A levels or AS levels only. This creates the starting point for all our benchmark calculations.
Each benchmark indicator has then been calculated based on all students, to reflect the performance of the whole
cohort at a national level.
Important: For this reason, because we have changed the methodology for this indicator, we will compare your
2014 performance against the new benchmark in each report, and keep the previous 3 years against the previous
benchmark, as used last year. You will still be able to chart trends over time, as the Alps grades are comparable.
Finally
Government policies in education over the past few years have radically changed the landscape with schools,
new academies and free schools now co-existing. We also see new groupings of schools in trusts, federations
and consortia emerging alongside different roles for Local Authorities. Post-16 funding is also being squeezed,
and the role of Local Authorities is being developed with increased demands in school improvement services.
Key planks of the new arrangements are the qualities of provider leadership and teaching and learning. The emphasis
on results is clear and so we see our reports and training as being ever more helpful to senior staff and teachers
in delivering better results through the forensic analysis we provide for you.
Alps reports have been used in Ofsted inspections by many schools to support judgements. It is official Ofsted policy
that where Alps reports are made available, they must be given due consideration by inspectors. The timeliness of our
reports has often come into play here, especially in showing up-to-date progress being made. The uniqueness of our
4 year profile of A, AS and BTEC reports is especially helpful. Our helpdesk is always at hand at inspection time!
So we remain happy to help any school, academy, college or LA to implement Alps systems using our highly qualified
and experienced trainers, all of whom have been or are in senior positions in top performing schools and colleges.

Alps AS level - The database

1. The process we are looking at compares input data derived from students GCSE results at the start
of level 3 AS level courses with output data relating to results at AS level and Applied AS level.
2. Only students who have taken at least 2 AS levels are included in the Provider AS level value added Quality
and Breadth score. Students in the dataset are usually in year 12.
3. Input data
The input data is an average GCSE score calculated for each student. There are two different GCSE scoring
systems that you can use. You can use whichever one you have on your management system.
GCSE points: GCSE points are the original way to calculate a level of performance based on level 2
qualifications. Each subject is given points as shown below.
Qualification
GCSE equivalents
A*
Full GCSEs
Short GCSEs
0.5
3.5
2.5
1.5
0.5
QCA points: QCA points are a different way to calculate a level of performance based on level 2
qualifications. The points scores are different to GCSE points scores but make no difference
to the value added score in your Alps report.

Note: We do not include BTEC First awards or equivalent, level 1 or key skills qualifications in the GCSE
score as they distort the input data and make the reports less useful. The main educational reason is that
they inflate a students GCSE score and can lead to unrealistic level 3 target grades for the student.
4. Output data
Only results for A levels are included. We exclude AS level General Studies and the Extended Project
Qualification as these distort outcomes.
5. Students have been allocated output scores based on the present system of UCAS scoring.

Alps AS level - National benchmark

Using the national dataset supplied to Alps by the Department for Education
(2,549 sets, 321,791 students, 1,180,304 AS levels taken)
Performance per subject

1.
The national database is created from the results of 1,180,304 AS levels taken by 321,791 students in June 2013
in 2,549 providers, taken from the complete national data-set supplied to Alps by the Department for Education.
2.
The results of these examinations are displayed in Table 1a below in bands according to student GCSE scores.
These are taken as a baseline measure of students abilities and application at the start of their level 3 courses.
There are 11 key GCSE bands ranging from GCSE scores of 7.58.0 (55.0-58.0 points) showing 23,542 students
starting level 3 courses with mainly A*/A grades at GCSE, to 0.04.0, showing 1,500 students starting with
4 or fewer grades of C plus Ds and Es etc. Most of this latter group actually have scores of >3.5 to <4.0.
3.
For each band, the 2,549 sets of data have been ranked from 1 to 2,549 according to the UCAS score per
subject entry in Table 1a. From the ranking, scores have been tabulated from best to worst at the specific
percentiles shown.
4.
For example, looking at the subject data for the 34,571 students with GCSE scores of 5.86.1 (44.8-46.6 points),
equivalent to around 8 grades of B at GCSE, shows that students in the best provider averaged a grade B- (47.93
points) but students in the worst provider averaged a grade E- (17.10 points) per subject entry.
5.
The aspiration is for all providers to achieve the scores at or greater than the 75th percentile, by focusing
on both strengths and weaknesses and using the experiences of the stronger departments/institutions
to promote good practice to those showing relative weakness. This may take one year, or maybe more
depending on your starting position.
6.
This table does not include AS level General Studies and the Extended Project Qualification. GCSE scores
do not include other courses such as key skills as these distort aspirational target grades leading to a flawed
methodology.
Subject data average performance per subject

For each band and percentile, the UCAS points per subject is tabulated in rank order of provider. A student with a GCSE score of 6.4-<6.7 at the middle ranking
provider (50th percentile row) in that band was scoring 41.61 UCAS points per subject, equivalent to a C grade. (GCSE score computed from A*=8pts, A=7pts,
B=6pts etc, totalled and divided by the number of GCSEs taken. UCAS points score: A=60pts, B=50pts, C=40pts, D=30pts, E=20pts).

Table 2a below, shows the average number of subjects taken by students in each band of ability excluding
General Studies and the Extended Project Qualification. For example in band 4.0-4.7 (34.0-38.2 points)
at the 75th percentile students took on average 3.00 AS levels excluding General Studies and EPQ, which
equated to 100% of students completing 3 AS levels.

Student data average number of AS levels taken per student

For each band and percentile, the average number of AS levels taken per student is tabulated in rank order of provider. A student with a GCSE score
of 6.7-<7.0 at the middle ranking provider (50th percentile row) in that band was taking 3.73 AS levels per student. (GCSE score computed from A*=8pts,
A=7pts, B=6pts etc, totalled and divided by the number of GCSEs taken. UCAS points score: A=60pts, B=50pts, C=40pts, D=30pts, E=20pts).

of subjects students should be aiming for relative to their incoming GCSE score. Table 2b does not include AS level
General Studies and the Extended Project Qualification. GCSE scores do not include other courses such as key skills
as these distort aspirational target grades leading to a flawed methodology.

The average perfomance per student is displayed in Table 3a below in bands according to student GCSE scores.
starting level 3 courses with mainly A*/A grades at GCSE to 0.04.0, showing 1,500 students starting with
3.
For each band, the 2,549 sets of data have been ranked according to the UCAS score per student in Table
3a. From the ranking, scores have been tabulated from best to worst at the specific percentiles shown.
4.
For example, subject data for the 34,571 students with GCSE scores of 5.86.1 (44.8-46.6 points), equivalent
to around 8 grades of B at GCSE, shows that students in the best provider averaged the equivalent to BBCC(176.67 points) but students in the worst provider averaged the equivalent to grades EE+ (43.33 points)
per student entry.
5.
The Alps value added Quality and Breadth indicator is calculated from this table. It is affected by the breadth
of study and by the number of UCAS points a student achieves in each subject.
Student data average performance per student

For each band and percentile, the UCAS points per student is tabulated in rank order of provider. A student with a GCSE score of 6.7-<7.0 at the middle ranking
provider (50th percentile row) in that band was scoring 166.43 UCAS points per student, equivalent to grades BCCC-. (GCSE score computed from A*=8pts,
A=7pts, B=6pts etc, totalled and divided by the number of GCSEs taken. UCAS points score: A=60pts, B=50pts, C=40pts, D=30pts, E=20pts).

What an AS level Alps score of 1.0 means in this report

1.
The AS level Alps score of 1.0 has been created as the benchmark based on the average performance
of students taking AS levels in 2013 in schools, Sixth Form Colleges and Further Education colleges performing
at the 75th percentile at that time.
2.
It is created as an aspirational target for all colleges and schools which are involved in using Alps systems
to raise student and staff esteem and achievement. This will be used as a fixed point for schools and colleges
against which to measure themselves and their annual progress.
3.
The aspirational targets for students differ using the incoming average GCSE scores at the start of the advanced
course as in the table below. This represents what was achieved at the 75th percentile in 2013.

The GCSE score is computed giving A*=8pts, A=7pts.... G=1pt and dividing by the total number of GCSEs taken.
BTEC/OCR level 2 scores are not included. Scoring at AS level is A=60pts, B=50pts etc. For the QCA equivalents
see page 7.
5.
In analysing a set of data from any provider, the UCAS points expected from a provider can be computed using
column B as multipliers applied to the number of students in each GCSE band in the year group.
This is compared to the actual UCAS points scored by the year group.
6.
A score of 1.0 means the year group on average matched the aspirational grades in columns A, B and D.
A score greater than 1.0 means the group exceeded this aspiration and a score of less than 1.0 leaves the
challenge open for next year.
7.
At a subject level, an Alps score of 1.0 means that students in this subject group on average achieved
the target UCAS points set in column A. However, subject thermometers show that some students may need
to exceed their minimum target grade to match the top 25% for that subject.
8.
We do not differentiate between subjects in setting target grades as the variation between the vast majority
of subjects is +/- 0.25 of a grade. Effectively this means that in most classes 75% of students at least should
achieve the target grade in the table above. Please look at pages 18/19 for more detail on this important
dimension.

Alps AS level - National benchmarks

Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth scores Thermometer
1. Each provider will receive a Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth score. This will give a feel
of where your school/college is performing relative to data on the next page represented in the form of
a thermometer.
2. The scale on this thermometer is created from the Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth
scores achieved by the year 12 students in 2,549 schools, Sixth Form Colleges and Further Education
Colleges in 2013.
3. In total, there are 321,791 students involved who have taken 1,180,304 AS levels in these 2,549 providers,
covering all regions in England, all types of economic and social environments and all types of religious
and ethnic backgrounds.
4. The 2,549 sets are each given a value added score. The top value added score is the value marked at 100%
on the benchmark. The bottom value added score in the benchmark is marked at 0%.
5. Key percentile markers (90th, 75th, 50th, 25th etc) are marked on the thermometer. You will then be able
to see with your own score at what percentile you reside for each year, usually within this scale.
6. Alps grades
The numbers running down the centre of the thermometers show how Alps grades are identified for this
indicator. These run from 1 (best) to 9 (worst). The grades are related exactly to the percentiles as shown
in the centre of each thermometer.

---- Alps grade 1 - better or equal to the best score achieved in the indicator - Outstanding
100%
---- Alps grade 2 - scoring between the 90th and 99th percentile - Outstanding
90%
---- Alps grade 3 - scoring between the 75th and 89th percentile - Excellent
75%
---- Alps grade 4 - scoring between the 60th and 74th percentile - Very good
60%
---- Alps grade 5 - scoring between the 40th and 59th percentile - Satisfactory to Good
40%
---- Alps grade 6 - scoring between the 25th and 39th percentile - Below average
25%

---- Alps grade 9 - worse than the worst score achieved in the indicator - Poor
The challenge is to get out of the BLUE and move towards the RED. If you are already
in the RED the challenge is to stay there. Continuous improvement is the underlying theme.
7. Only students who have completed at least 2 AS levels excluding AS General Studies and EPQ
are included in this indicator.

Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth scores Thermometer
These are derived from 2,549 sets of data gathered from schools, sixth form colleges and further education
colleges covering 1,180,304 AS levels taken by 321,791 students in June 2013. 0.20 represents one grade difference
in one subject per student, 0.40 represents one grade difference in two subjects per student or two grades in one subject.

An example of an AS level subject value added scoreThermometer
1. Each provider will receive a subject analysis producing a set of subject value added scores. This will show
you exactly where your school/college is performing for each subject relative to nationally collected data
for that subject, represented in the form of a thermometer as on the next page.
2. The scale on the thermometer is created from the AS level subject value added scores achieved
by groups of generally 10 or more taking the subject, collected from 2,549 providers. Numbers of groups
vary by subject depending on its popularity nationally.
3. This gives a robust statistical basis to the data as students taking the subject do so in all regions in England,
all types of economic and social environments, and all types of religious and ethnic environments. On the
thermometer, these scores are ranked from best to worst.
4. Scores are highlighted at key percentiles (90th, 75th, 60th, 40th, 25th etc). You can see with your own score
at what percentile you reside for each subject, for example, maths, for each year. Although this thermometer
is defined by scores from 2,549 schools, Sixth Form Colleges and Further Education Colleges, it is important
for the reader to know that scores from thousands of schools, further education colleges and independent
schools analysed over the past four years do fall within this scale with a small percentage of exceptions.
It is fully representative of what is happening nationally.

Subject value added scores at different percentiles
1.
The next table shows Subject value added scores for 93 AS level subjects. Column 2 identifies the subject.
Columns 3 & 4 give the number of students & sets of data collected for the subject. We have included
departments only where generally 10 or more students have completed the AS level subject apart from very
small entry subjects where at least 85% of total students taking a subject are included.
2.
Columns 5 to 13 show the scores achieved by the individual providers at a range of percentiles.
3.
The scores in the horizontal row for AS level mathematics are exactly the same as on the AS level mathematics
thermometer on the previous page.
4.
The challenge is to get to and consistently beat the score at the 75th percentile, and particularly to look
for systematic change that gets you out of the BLUE region if that is where you are at present.
Showing how this table takes account of subject variations nationally

5.
This table provides targets for individual subjects that take account of the national variations in these subjects.
It is clear that the 75th percentile score, for example, varies from subject to subject. The 75th percentile score
for AS level English language is 1.14 which is the score of the English department placed 25% from the best
score for that subject. For AS level physics, the equivalent score is 0.91. As 0.20 of a difference represents exactly
one grade per entry difference, and we have a difference of 0.23 here then this suggests that a student with
an equal flair for both will achieve around 1 grade less on average in the AS level physics than in AS level English
if both departments are operating at the level of the 75th percentile.
6.
As an aside, the usual explanation is that physics is harder, but there is an equally compelling evidential
argument from analysing a large number of physics and other science subjects, that the quality of teaching
and learning nationally in these subjects is, on average, not as good as in many other subjects.
7.
The table can be used to create reasonable targets. A department can then look at systems for improvement.
For example, a provider with an AS level English language & literature score of 0.95 sits at the 25th percentile
mark, grade 6/7 boundary. To move to 1.10, grade 3, requires an increase of 0.15, equivalent to 0.75 of a grade
per student. Put another way, 3 out of 4 of the students need to rise by one grade to get to 1.10, an achievable
and concrete target for improvement.
8.
The question for the department then is what do we need to do to make the change happen?
Applying this analysis to all departments provides the lever for continuous improvement.
9.
A question that often arises in training sessions is why do we not differentiate target grades depending
on the difficulty of subjects. The 75th percentile score for AS level English literature is 1.07, for AS level
mathematics it is 0.98, so why is the target grade the same when it appears there is a difference between
subjects at the 75th percentile? Target grades are set to create a score of 1.00 irrespective of perceived
differences between the subjects. To get a red grade 3 requires a different VA score depending on the subject.
The reasons for these differences are complex - some might say it reflects subject difficulty, others the quality
of resources, or teaching, or the structure of the exam, or perhaps even the UMS/raw mark grade boundaries.
It certainly reflects the comparative performance across these subjects in schools and colleges nationally.
In AS level maths, 9 out of 10 students would have to hit their target grade for the subject to be a grade 3
(since the VA boundary is 0.98), whereas in AS level sociology, half the students will have to exceed their target
grade for the subject to be in the top 25% (since the subject VA boundary is 1.10).

Subject value added scores at different percentiles
93 AS level subjects are listed. Subjects not included are missing because the number of sets of data was too small to be reliable.
A difference of 0.20 represents one grade difference per entry in comparing sets.

Quality of teaching and learning indicator RED top class teaching & learning
1. In terms of an Alps analysis, the definition of top class RED teaching and learning is when a group
of students taking a subject achieves an Alps subject grade of 1, 2 or 3, matching performance in the top 25%
of the AS level Alps national database for that subject.
2. Each provider receives a figure for RED teaching and learning for each year.
3. The calculation is computed as follows

Let us take a provider where there were 300 entries leading to AS level grades. These will be spread
across the range of subjects taken in the provider. Say we had 15 students completing art with
an Alps grade 1 outcome, 25 taking chemistry with an Alps grade 2 outcome, 30 taking English literature
with an Alps grade 3 outcome, 30 taking mathematics with a grade 3 outcome and 20 taking psychology
with an Alps grade 2 outcome. In total we have 120 entries in groups where students achieved at grades
1, 2 and 3 RED teaching. So 120 out of the 300 entries or 40% overall fall in the RED category.
In this case, 40% is the RED teaching and learning score for the provider.
4. Each year, each provider receives a figure for this indicator. This can be compared with an Alps national
dataset of scores collected from 2,549 schools, sixth form colleges and further education colleges in 2013.
The RED teaching and learning thermometer against which comparisons are made is on the next page.

Quality of teaching and learning indicator BLUE relatively poor class teaching and learning.
1. In terms of an Alps analysis, the definition of relatively poor BLUE teaching and learning is when a group
of students taking a subject achieves an Alps AS level subject grade of 7, 8 or 9, matching performance
in the bottom 25% of the AS level Alps national database for that subject.
2. Each provider receives a figure for BLUE teaching and learning for each year.
3. The calculation is computed as follows

Let us take a provider where there were 300 entries leading to AS level grades. These will be spread
across the range of subjects taken in the provider. Say we had 15 students completing art with
an Alps grade 7 outcome, 25 taking chemistry with an Alps grade 8 outcome, 30 taking English literature
with an Alps grade 9 outcome, 30 taking mathematics with a grade 8 outcome and 20 taking psychology
with an Alps grade 9 outcome. In total we have 120 entries in groups where students achieved at grades
7, 8 or 9 BLUE teaching. So 120 out of the 300 entries or 40% overall fall in the BLUE category.
In this case, 40% is the BLUE teaching and learning score for the provider.
4. Each year, each provider receives a figure for this indicator. This can be compared with an Alps national

T score
The Alps 3 year T score can provide a more accurate overall picture of the performance of a school or college than
the Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth score alone. It gives extra weight to the quality of teaching
and learning over the number of subjects taken, which in extreme cases can distort the Provider AS level value added
Quality and Breadth score for some schools and colleges.
Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth score
The Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth score shows the overall student performance within a provider.
This indicator takes into account the number of subjects taken per student as well as the quality of teaching and
learning of the subjects.
% RED Teaching & Learning
The % RED teaching & learning indicator shows how many students experienced teaching and learning at a high
level in a school as measured by examination performance. This measure takes into account variations in subject
value added scores and focuses on performance in each subject. This measure does not take account of the number
of subjects taken per student.
% BLUE Teaching & Learning
The % BLUE teaching & learning indicator shows how many students experienced teaching and learning at a poor
Creating a 3 year T score
Each of the measures above is graded each year. The grading system ranges from 1 to 9 with 1 being the best,
5 being average and 9 being the worst grade achievable.
The 3 year T score for a provider sums all of the grades for each indicator over the last three years and averages
the result.
e.g. Grades over the last three years in the three indicators for an example school

5.33
2014*
4.67
2012
The 3 year T score is equal to the average of these 9 results = 44/9 = 4.89
The table shown above provides several pieces of information. The Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth
grade is around 5 for all three years which is close to the national average. The % RED teaching & learning is a grade
3 or 4 in all three years. This indicates a high number of students in classes performing well. The % BLUE teaching
& learning is a grade 6 or 7 in all three years. This indicates a high number of students in classes performing below
target.
So from these three indicators we can see that the school performs averagely overall but there is a large number
of classes that perform well and also a large number of classes that perform badly to produce this
average result.
The 3 year T score brings together all of these factors to give one score that represents the performance in all three
of these indicators over three years.
The Alps T score thermometer
We have created a T score thermometer that shows the position of schools against the position of the 2,549 providers
that undertook Alps analysis in 2013. The position of each provider on the thermometer gives a good indication
of the performance relative to national performance.
A provider that appears high up on the thermometer has done well, a provider that appears towards the bottom
of the thermometer has done relatively poorly.

AS level Student performance report
1.
This report is useful in indicating how students in a year group fared in attempting to reach the
aspirational Alps targets.
2.
Students are ranked by initial GCSE score in this table, running from 8.0 (58.0 points) straight A*
grades to the lowest GCSE score in the year group, usually around 4.0 (34.0) (4/5 grades of C and 4/5
grades of D at GCSE) in a comprehensive AS level intake by national standards.
3.
There is one line per student. Each line shows the number of subjects per student, the AS level
subjects taken and grades they achieved. AS level General Studies and EPQ are not included.

Where a grade meets or exceeds the target grade, the grade is coloured RED. Where the grade is one
grade lower than the target grade, the grade is coloured GREY. Where the grade achieved is two or
more grades down it is coloured BLUE. The aspirational objective is to try and move to all RED pages.
6.
Number of exams taken - The fourth column on the table is called No. Exams. This column shows
the number of AS levels that each student has taken. The target number of subjects for different ability
students is:
GCSE score
QCA score
Target no. subjects
5.5
43.0
4 subjects
<5.5
<43.0
3 subjects
If a student hits their target number of subjects the No. Exams column is coloured RED.
If a student misses their target number of subjects the No. Exams column is coloured BLUE.
7.
RED students - Students who have achieved both the target number of subjects and also the target
grades in their subjects are termed Alps RED students and their identifier is coloured RED.
8.
RED student % thermometer - At the top of the Student Performance Table the % of students that
are Alps RED students is shown. We have calculated this value for all schools and colleges in the Alps
benchmark and these results are shown on the RED student % thermometer. This gives an indication
of how many of your students were Alps RED students compared to national performance.

Alps AS level - Statistical overview

The page opposite gives a statistical overview of your provider over the past four years, where data has been made available.
A.
AS level student numbers

The number here represents the number of students that have been included in the Provider AS level value added Quality
and Breadth score calculation. The number represents students that have attempted 2 or more AS level examinations.
Students attempting fewer than 2 AS level examinations and those with no GCSE score in the data received to produce the
report are not included in calculations relating to Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth scores and banded
results calculations. However, students completing 1 AS level are included in the single subject reports and the calculation
of RED and BLUE teaching and learning scores and therefore in the T score.
B/C.
Total Exam Entries (excluding AS level General Studies and the Extended Project Qualification)
This number represents the number of AS level exams taken that are used to calculate the Provider AS level value added
Quality and Breadth score. Exams taken by students attempting fewer than 2 AS level equivalent examinations are not
included. Exams taken by students with no GCSE score in the data received to produce the report are not included.
General Studies and the Extended Project Qualification examinations are also not included.
% of Students over 6.4 Average GCSE score (48.4 points)
% of Students from 5.5+ to 6.4- Average GCSE score (43.0-48.4 points)
% of Students under 5.5 Average GCSE score (43.0 points)
These three rows give an indication of the prior attainment of the completing year group.
D.
Average GCSE Score

This number represents the average GCSE score for all students used in the calculation of the Provider AS level value
added Quality and Breadth score. The average GCSE score per student is now calculated using all the GCSE grades
achieved by the students. See page 7 for the explanation. The number gives an indication of the ability of the student intake
in a provider. The average score in the national dataset is 6.1. However, we have many examples of schools and colleges
that succeed with lower average scores.

GCSE Banded v AS level Data
The analysis by GCSE bands is represented in the tables on pages 35, 37 and 39.
The page opposite shows the AS level results of your students banded into groups of students according
to their level of achievement at level 2. This is a key set of data as it allows comparison of groups of students
of similar ability to be compared institution by institution and clearly highlights areas of strength and weakness
at a strategic overview level.

The table lists the number of students, the number of AS level entries and the grades achieved. Each grade is given
a UCAS score where A=60, B=50, C=40, D=30, E=20 points.
Average UCAS points per student
Column 14 gives the average UCAS points scored per student for each GCSE band. Column 16 shows the national
75th percentile target and column 15 the Alps grade for the indicator where 1 = outstanding, 5 = satisfactory to good,
9 = poor.
UCAS points per subject
Column 17 gives the average UCAS points per subject entry for each GCSE band. Column 19 is the national 75th
percentile target and column 18 gives the Alps grade for this indicator, again with a scale of 1 to 9 where
1 is outstanding and 9 is poor achievement.
Average number of subjects taken
Column 20 shows you the average number of AS levels taken compared with the national scene at the 75th percentile
of the database in column 22, with your graded position by Alps grade in column 21 in the range 1 to 9.
Provider AS level value added score
This is shown at the bottom for information. A full description and calculation of the Provider AS level value added
score can be found on pages 40-41.

Alps - Analysis of students banded by ability tabular representation

1. The data shown on the previous page is shown in a tabular form on the page opposite.
The key pieces of information that can be compared are:
UCAS Points per Subject Table A
UCAS Points per Student Table B
2. The coloured RED, BLACK or BLUE boxes relate to your providers performance relative to the benchmark.
The higher the coloured box appears in the table, the better the average performance of the students as measured
against the performance of the benchmark data.
3. The highest box in the column for each GCSE band indicates a performance as good as or better than the best
performer in that band in the benchmark data.
4. The lowest box indicates a performance worse than the worst performer in that band in the benchmark data.
5. Results above the benchmark 75% are highlighted in red and show excellent achievement.
Results between the benchmark 25% and 75% are highlighted in black. This indicates very good to satisfactory performance.
Results below the benchmark 25% are highlighted in blue. This indicates relatively weak performance.
6. These tables give a one year summary of the performance of students as measured in groups defined by GCSE scores,
one measure of ability at the start of the AS level course.

Alps - Analysis of students banded by ability 4 year summary

The top table on the opposite page again shows the performance of your students that have been banded by their
GCSE grades and measured against the benchmark dataset. The information on the previous page is replicated
in a different form in this table. There are, however, two differences.
The performance in each band is represented by a grade instead of being shown in tabular fashion. The grades
correspond exactly to the boundaries on the previous page. A grade of 1 is equivalent to the top square in the previous
table (outstanding performance). A grade of 9 represents the bottom square (poor performance). The table shows
a 4 year summary of the data instead of the 1 year summary represented before. This horizontal data highlights
trends over time.
The grades are given from 1 to 9. Each grade represents:
1
2
100%
90%
75%
60%
40%
25%
7
8
10%
Bottom
Results above the 75% benchmark are highlighted in red and show outstanding to excellent achievement.
Results between the 25% and 75% benchmark are highlighted in black. This indicates below average to very good achievement.
Results below the 25% benchmark are highlighted in blue. This indicates relatively weak performance.
In some providers there are clear messages from this page:
Occasionally the UCAS points per subject scores are significantly higher in the top bands than in the UCAS points
per student table, indicating that students in these bands could achieve higher if they were entered for more
AS level exams.
Sometimes the bottom 2 or 3 bands show significantly lower performance than the other bands in the provider.
This can indicate that the systems in place in a provider may not be not geared to teaching the students with more
modest prior attainment. A similar but reversed pattern would indicate that higher achieving students are not
being stretched.
The Alps analysis of students banded by ability gives another perspective for creating key agenda items
for discussion and action.

Alps AS level - Provider AS level (VA) Quality and Breadth Indicator

The Alps national target scores for UCAS points per student are used to calculate your Provider AS level value added
Quality and Breadth score. The page opposite shows this calculation for your school/college for the present year. It is
divided into four sections.
Section 1 Expected UCAS points (this is the top section on the page opposite)
Each of the Alps GCSE bands is displayed in the table at the top of the page opposite.
The student numbers column shows the number of students in each GCSE band for your year group.
The Expected UCAS points total per student column shows the Alps aspirational UCAS points per student target
for each of the GCSE bands.
The Total Expected UCAS points column is calculated by multiplying the student numbers by the expected UCAS
points per student in each GCSE band. This gives an expected UCAS points total for each GCSE band.
At the bottom of this column is a total of the Expected UCAS points for this year group, defined as the number
of UCAS points that would be gained by the year group if on average they performed to the same level of the 75th
percentile scores in the Alps 2013 benchmark.
Section 2 Actual UCAS points (this is the middle section on the page opposite)
The grades that score UCAS points are listed in the left hand column of the table.
The number of each grade achieved by students is listed in the number of entries column.
The UCAS points per grade column shows the total of the UCAS points gained at each grade.
The Actual UCAS points achieved total shows the total number of UCAS points gained by the year group.
Section 3 The Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth score is calculated as follows -
Provider AS level
value added Quality & Breadth score =
Actual UCAS pts Expected UCAS pts

(Number of students x 50)
+1
Section 4 Your Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth score grade
Your Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth score is compared to the Alps benchmark on the
thermometer which gives the range of scores derived from the Alps national dataset of 321,791 students taking
1,180,304 AS levels, and defines your Alps grade for the present year.

value added score
The diagram above shows the format of the Subject value added analysis table that is shown on the opposite page.
The key features of the table are highlighted.
Subject names: This column contains a list of all the subjects that are taken in your provider.
Year columns: Identifies the year to which the results in this column relate.
Column 1 Student entries: Shows the number of students who completed the course in the subject.
Column 2 Value added score: This is a measure of the comparison between the actual UCAS points scored by the
subject year group and the expected score using the 75th percentile scores for the basket of all subjects. The higher
this is, the better, and generally scores of 1.00 or above are more than satisfactory, although a score of 1.00 in one
subject does not equate to a score of 1.00 in another. Each subject has its own thermometer scale. For example,
a value added score of 1.00 in mathematics will achieve an Alps grade 3, whereas in sociology a value added score
of 1.00 will achieve an Alps grade 5.
Column 3 Subject grade: A subject grade from 1 to 9 is assigned to each subject value added score.
The subject grades have been calculated by looking at the performance of large sets of students in the dataset
taking the particular subject.
Grade 1 is given to a provider that achieves a higher value added score in a subject than any of the providers
in the Alps national benchmark dataset obtained in the same subject.
Grade 5 is given to a provider that achieves a value added score in a subject that is close to the performance
of the middle ranking performer in the benchmark set of 2,549 providers.
Grade 9 is given to a provider that achieves a lower value added score in a subject than any of the providers
in the benchmark dataset obtained in the same subject.
Subject grades are comparable between subjects. A grade 3 in mathematics is an equivalent departmental
performance to a grade 3 in art nationally even though the raw value added score can be significantly different.
Subject grades are colour coded:
Results above the 75% benchmark are highlighted in red and show outstanding to excellent achievement.
Results between the 25% and 75% benchmark are highlighted in black. This indicates very good to below average achievement.
Results below the 25% benchmark are highlighted in blue. This indicates relatively weak performance.

On the opposite page there are three tables that relate the quality of teaching and learning in your provider to those
in the Alps national dataset. This page will briefly summarise the content of these tables.
The first two tables contain the same information displayed in different ways. Each section in one table will correspond
to the same section in the other table. The third table is a grouped summary of the first two.
Table 1 Subject grades using numbers of students in each grade band

The figures from table 1 are computed straight from the Subject Analysis page on page 43. Each subject on the Subject
Analysis page is given a subject grade from 1 to 9 (1 is the best, 9 is the worst). All learners that were taught in
subjects that achieved a grade 2 can be said to have experienced grade 2 teaching and learning in those subjects.
Table 1 shows how many students experienced teaching at each learning quality grade for each year. For example,
if there were 6 chemistry learners and 12 mathematics learners taught to grade 2 in 2013, and if these were the only
departments to gain a grade 2, there would be 18 in the grade 2 column and the 2013 row of table 1.
This information gives a picture of the range of the quality of teaching and learning.
A high number in bands 1, 2 and 3 shows a large number of students being taught and learning with high quality.
A high number in bands 4, 5 and 6 shows a large number of students being taught and learning satisfactorily.
A high number in bands 7, 8 and 9 shows a large number of students being taught and learning relatively poorly.
Table 2 Subject grades using percentage of students in each grade band

Table 2 shows the same information as table 1 in percentage terms. This allows easier interpretation of the values
shown in the table.
Table 3 Subject grades using percentage of students in RED, BLACK and BLUE Bands
Table 3 shows similar information to table 2 but with the results of subject grades grouped together as follows:
Grades 1, 2 and 3 on table 2 are grouped together into a RED teaching & learning band in table 3.
Grades 4, 5 and 6 on table 2 are grouped together into a BLACK teaching & learning band in table 3.
Grades 7, 8 and 9 on table 2 are grouped together into a BLUE teaching & learning band in table 3.
Table 3 gives an overview of levels of performance in the provider

A high percentage of RED teaching and learning indicates that there is a large amount of high quality teaching
and learning in the institution.
A high percentage of BLUE teaching and learning indicates that there is a large amount of poor or very poor quality
teaching and learning in the institution.
Alps has analysed the amounts of red and blue teaching and learning obtained by the providers in the benchmark.
This gives useful targets for the amounts of red and blue teaching and learning:

T score
The Alps 3 year T score can provide a more accurate overall picture of the performance of a school or college than
the Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth score alone. It gives extra weight to the quality of teaching
and learning over the number of subjects taken, which in extreme cases can distort the Provider AS level value added
Quality and Breadth score for some schools and colleges.
The Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth score shows the overall student performance within a provider.
This indicator takes into account the number of subjects taken per student as well as the quality of teaching and
learning of the subjects.
% RED Teaching & Learning
The % RED teaching & learning indicator shows how many students experienced teaching and learning at a high
% BLUE Teaching & Learning
The % BLUE teaching & learning indicator shows how many students experienced teaching and learning at a poor
Creating a 3 year T score
Each of the measures above is graded each year. The grading system ranges from 1 to 9 with 1 being the best,
5 being average and 9 being the worst grade achievable.
The 3 year T score for a provider sums all of the grades for each indicator over the last three years and averages
the result.
e.g. Grades over the last three years in the three indicators for an example school
Year
Provider AS level (VA) Q&B grade

5.33
2014*
4.67
2012
The 3 year T score is equal to the average of these 9 results = 44/9 = 4.89
The table shown above provides several pieces of information. The Provider AS level value added Quality and Breadth
grade is around 5 for all three years which is close to the national average. The % RED teaching & learning is a grade
3 or 4 in all three years. This indicates a high number of students in classes performing well. The % BLUE teaching
& learning is a grade 6 or 7 in all three years. This indicates a high number of students in classes performing below
target.
So from these three indicators we can see that the school performs averagely overall but there is a large number
of classes that perform well and also a large number of classes that perform badly to produce this
average result.
The 3 year T score brings together all of these factors to give one score that represents the performance in all three
of these indicators over three years.
The Alps T score thermometer
We have created a T score thermometer that shows the position of schools against the position of the 2,549 providers
that undertook Alps analysis in 2013. The position of each provider on the thermometer gives a good indication
of the performance relative to national performance.
A provider that appears high up on the thermometer has done well, a provider that appears towards the bottom
of the thermometer has done relatively poorly.

Students not included in calculating key indicators

Some students are filtered out of the Alps report calculations. The two reasons for this are:
1. Students with no GCSE score
2. Students doing fewer than 2 AS level equivalent examinations (excluding General Studies and Extended Project)

The following students did not have a GCSE score in the data file you submitted to Alps. If you have GCSE scores for these
students you can add the GCSE scores to your data file using the Alps Data Collection Software (ADCS). Open your data file
and you can add the GCSE scores by typing the values into the spreadsheet.

2. Students that have taken fewer than 2 AS levels

The students below are filtered out of some Alps indicators because they have only taken 1 AS level examination (not
including General Studies or Extended Project). The indicators that the students are removed from are the Provider value
added score Quality and Breadth and the Banded by Ability reports. These indicators are fairer when students with only 1
AS level are removed from the calculation.
Although possible, it is unusual that students take only 1 AS level examination. For this reason it is a good idea to check
that the students below have taken only 1 AS level exam. If there are examinations missing you can add these using the
ADCS.

How is my Alps score calculated?

Alps is designed to look at groups of students.
1. On the top left is a table titled Expected UCAS points. This shows how many students are in each band and what
their expected UCAS points outcome would be if they performed at the same level as the top 25% of providers
across the country. In this example we would expect 939 UCAS points in total.
2. To the right is the actual grades this group achieved, so the Total Actual UCAS points was 990.
3. The subject VA score then combines these to give an Alps score, in this case 1.04.
4. The Business Studies specific thermometer shows that when comparing this Business Studies department with
all other Business Studies departments nationally, a score of 1.04 puts it just below the 75th percentile.
5. The list of students is in descending GCSE score order and shows how each student performed. By looking at this
list it is possible to determine if there is a particular group of students who appear to have underachieved relative
to the minimum target grades. By identifying potential weaknesses in performance, staff can be sure to focus
on students who may underachieve in their current classes.
What is an Alps subject thermometer?

Each subject has its own benchmark thermometer that compares that subject department to all other departments
of the same subject in the national data set. An Alps score of 1.00 means that all students have achieved their target
grades. In the above, the top 25% of Business Studies departments score 1.06 nationally. For Business Studies, all
students in the national data set achieve their minimum target grades with a proportion exceeding their target grade.
The full list of all subject benchmarks can be found in any provider report (page 19 in the AS level report).

AS level Student performance report
1.
This report is useful in indicating how students in a year group fared in attempting to reach the
aspirational Alps targets.
2.
Students are ranked by initial GCSE score in this table, running from 8.0 (58.0 points) straight A*
grades to the lowest GCSE score in the year group, usually around 4.0 (34.0) (4/5 grades of C and 4/5
grades of D at GCSE) in a comprehensive AS level intake by national standards.
3.
There is one line per student. Each line shows the number of subjects per student, the AS level
subjects taken and grades they achieved. AS level General Studies and EPQ are not included.
4.
Alps AS level targets - The Alps AS level target grades are set out below. These are based on the
Alps AS level benchmarks:

5.
Where a grade meets or exceeds the target grade, the grade is coloured RED. Where the grade is one
grade lower than the target grade, the grade is coloured GREY. Where the grade achieved is two or
more grades down it is coloured BLUE. The aspirational objective is to try and move to all RED pages.
6.
Number of exams taken - The fourth column on the table is called No. Exams. This column shows
the number of AS levels that each student has taken. The target number of subjects for different ability
students is:
GCSE score
QCA score
Target no. subjects
5.5
43.0
4 subjects
<5.5
<43.0
3 subjects
If a student hits their target number of subjects the No. Exams column is coloured RED.
If a student misses their target number of subjects the No. Exams column is coloured BLUE.
7.
RED students - Students who have achieved both the target number of subjects and also the target
grades in their subjects are termed Alps RED students and their identifier is coloured RED.
8.
RED student % thermometer - At the top of the Student Performance Table the % of students that
are Alps RED students is shown. We have calculated this value for all schools and colleges in the Alps
benchmark and these results are shown on the RED student % thermometer. This gives an indication
of how many of your students were Alps RED students compared to national performance.
