BTEC and Performance Measures

[CAM]

Have these been changed again? I'm trying to use BTEC courses in 4Matrix and virtually all of them are coming up as not counting towards performance measures at all!

 

 

EDIT - Just spoke to the head who thinks they are being removed from the performance measures. If so, this is worrying. BTEC courses are often offered to weak students who would struggle with GCSE and leave school with nothing to show. By removing them from performance measures it will cause schools to be punished for putting the students' needs before OFSTED's. Has the DfE gone too far with this???

There are many on the 14-19 non GCSEs approved qualification list. Has your head read anything recently that says differently?

if you go to Raiseonline and click on the library tab. There is a link to all the courses that count towards the performance tables. I would include the link but the site is down at the moment.
