Value-Added

Edgbaston High School is proud of achieving extremely good examination results for all pupils in a very broad range of subjects. One method of measuring academic success is by looking at the value-added score, evaluated by working out the differential between the grades one would expect a student to obtain based on their underlying ability and the grades that they actually obtain.

Value-added performance at EHS is under constant review, using data provided by the University of Durham’s Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring. We are proud that EHS students regularly achieve significantly higher than their underlying ability suggests.

At GCSE

EHS pupils consistently achieve well above the expected standard for pupils of their ability, compared to the national average. Overall, value-added at GCSE level is extremely positive, with students regularly achieving up to a grade higher than predicted across the curriculum.

At A-Level

In 2023-24, impressive progress was displayed by many of our A-Level students in English, Maths and the Sciences. Furthermore, positive value added measures were noted across a broad range of subjects including Government and Politics, French, History, Media Studies, PE, Religious Studies and Spanish. In these subjects, students exceeded their predictions. In addition to this and as a result of their achievement each year, girls go on to study higher education courses and attend prestigious academic institutions. Each pupil at EHS is valued for her individual talents and abilities and this is reflected in the varied destination of our Year 13 leavers.

At EHS, we believe that “adding value” is more than just a quantifiable, objective measure. By enriching our pupils learning experience and strengthening their personal development, our pupils can thrive academically to be industrious, independent, individual people, eager to take their place in the world. We are motivated to getting the best out of every pupil in our school. Real value is added to every pupil’s experience, by knowing our pupils as individuals, building relationships between them and the teachers. It’s hard to measure that, but its value is priceless.
