Those achieving below the national average will be eligible for contextual data points comparable to Progress 8.
Scotland: We will use the Attainment for All data set calculating an average tariff score using a virtual comparator to measure individual schools against the national average. Those achieving below the national average will be eligible for contextual data points comparable to Progress 8.
