Accountability Measures / Destination Information
16-19 Accountability Measures
The government have reformed how schools and colleges are measured in order to set higher expectations, and to make the system fairer, more ambitious, and more transparent.
These measures are:
- Progress
- Attainment
- English and maths (for students who do not have a GCSE in these subjects at 9-4)
- Retention
- Destinations
Please see the information below for further details on each measure and how successful SCHA VI Form are against each measure.
Progress and Attainment:
This measure uses value added progress to show how well students have progressed when compared with students with the same prior attainment. The measure for attainment shows the average grade that students attain across the academy in their A level and BTEC level 3 studies.

Retention
This measure shows the proportion of students who are retained to the end of their main course of study within their study programme at a provider.

For the 2020/21 (year 13) leavers – 87 students were retained on a range of A level and BTEC courses. The overall pass rate for those students retained on courses was 100%. A further break down will be added to this document when the data is released in March 2022.
For the academic year 2020/21 Year 12 cohort, 91% of students progressed from Year 12 into Year 13. Of the 8 students that did not progress to year 13, 4 are resitting year 12 with the other 4 all moving onto positive destinations.
The data for the 2020/21 leaver’s cohort will be validated in March 2022, but for the academies internal calculations please see below:

The following is the latest validated data from the government website and breaks these destinations down for the 2016/17 cohort – This data is not initial destinations but rechecked after a year to see who has stayed in their initial destination, which is why we do not have destinations data from the Government for more recent cohorts: https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/school/137912/sir-christopher-hatton-academy/16-to-18/student-destinations?accordionstate=0

Summary
In 2019, our Progress score for the Sixth Form was +0.29 which was the second best in Northamptonshire. In the two years since, our progress score has increased to 0.4, significantly above national average. Over the past academic year, student outcomes have improved; the average grade for students taking our academic qualifications rose to a B+ from a B- in 2020. Similarly, our students, on average, achieved a Distinction in their vocational qualifications compared to a Merit+ in 2020.
Sir Christopher Hatton is ranked number 1 in Northamptonshire for KS4 outcomes and we are delighted that our KS5 results mirror that success and continue to improve year on year. We are proud that 90% of our students have gone on to study at university with a quarter of those leaving us securing a place at a Russell Group university.
