| Abstract | This report investigates the progression of students from General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) to A level; that is, the proportion of students who go on to take an A level in the same (or related) subject. Progression rates are presented by GCSE grade, and student gender. In addition, the report looks at the relationship between GCSE grades and A level grades. The data for these analyses were taken from the National Pupil Database (NPD), maintained by the Department for Education. The Key Stage 4 (KS4) database for 2015 was used to obtain the GCSE results for all students who were in Year 11 in 2015. A student was deemed to have progressed to A level from GCSE if an A level result for them in the same subject was present in the KS5 database. Results show that for most subjects, the differences in progression rates between gender were very small. However, some subjects did have some interesting differences: male students were much more likely to progress to Physics than female students (from either Physics or Additional Science GCSE), and the reverse was true for Biology (from either Biology or Additional Science GCSE). Other subjects where male students were more likely than female students to progress to A level were Maths, Further Maths (progression from Maths GCSE) and Computing. Subjects where female students were more likely to progress included English Literature, Psychology and Sociology. (ERIC). |
