The names of the pupils who sat a particular subject are listed along with the grade they achieved, their A-level examination mean (average) result in all their subjects, the difference between the last two to indicate whether the pupil did as well in this subject as they did on average in all their subjects, and their GCSE mean score to give some indication of their ability.

Beneath the pupil listing are the standard grade distribution figures, again broken down by gender, the subject average grade for comparison with the year average grade and the average grade for these same pupils in all their subjects (N.B. Where a subject is sat by all the year group the last two grades mentioned will actually be the same).

Things to consider
Look at the grade distribution and average ability for the subject - are the grades what you would expect given the ability of the group?

Do girls perform better or worse than boys in this subject? Could the results statistics be affected by the proportions of the girls and boys actually sitting the subject?

Are there too many absences? If so why? Is there a significant proportion failing to hand in the required coursework or are students being encouraged not to attend the examination to massage the results statistics?

Is the subject popular, attracting its percentage of the year group, or are numbers of pupils opting for the subject dwindling? If so, why?
