The scores on the performance tables show how much progress pupils at Miles Coverdale have made, in reading, writing and maths, from the end of key stage 1 to the end of key stage 2, in comparison to other pupils in England who had similar results at the end of key stage 1.  

These scores are calculated by comparing the key stage 2 test results and assessment results with pupils in schools across England who started with similar assessment results when they reached the end of key stage 1.

So, what do the scores mean?

Any score above zero means that the pupils made more progress, on average, than pupils across England who had similar results at the end of key stage 1.

Any score below zero means pupils made less progress, on average, than pupils across England who had similar results at the end of key stage 1.

The performance tables show confidence intervals. It is difficult to say with certainty how much of the progress scores are down to the school (which may have scored higher with a different group of pupils) and how much is down to the pupils (for example some may have performed well at any school). The confidence intervals reflect this uncertainty. If the confidence intervals for 2 schools overlap, then we can't say for certain that the 2 progress scores for these schools are significantly different.

Generally speaking, the greater the number of pupils, the smaller the range of the confidence interval. For smaller schools, the confidence interval tends to be larger, since fewer pupils are included, and therefore the score will be more greatly impacted by performance of individual pupils.
