How St David's can really add value and get A & B grades at GCSE for girls who would expect Cs at an average school

The following graph indicates that St David’s is now adding on average well over 1 grade more per GCSE than could be expected from an average school. We calculate this by giving our Year 7 girls an independent test that predicts what each girl would achieve in an average school and then compare these predictions to what they actually achieve at St David’s School in Year 11. For instance, girls who would be expected to get Cs at an average school are on average achieving Bs and As at St David’s.
