Details

Use the ready reckoner to calculate level 3 value-added results.

Level 3 value-added is a progress measure for school sixth forms and colleges which is used in the 16 to 18 performance tables.

You can also read the 16 to 18 accountability technical guide to learn more about the level 3 value-added measure.

The transition matrices tool presents value-added results differently. It shows the grades achieved by students in particular subjects with similar levels of prior attainment.
