How will qualification entry patterns change as a result of changes to Attainment 8?
Expect an increase in entries in creative subjects and fewer entries in geography, history and triple science
How has access to creative subjects changed over time?
We look at the proportion of schools where no pupils are entered for qualifications in creative subjects (art, music and performing arts), and see how this varies over time and by school characteristics
Looking into Labour’s proposed changes to Progress 8
Labour have announced plans to include a "slot" for a creative or vocational subject in Progress 8. We investigate the possible impact.
What has Progress 8 done for the creative subjects?
There has been a small decrease in the proportion of young people entered for one or more qualifications in creative subjects since Progress 8 was introduced in 2016. But is Progress 8 to blame?
