KS5: DfE's 16 to 18 Approved Qualifications, Discount Codes and Performance Point scores

The link below provides access to a handy list of guidance documents for KS5 on the DfE's website, such as:

• 16 to 18 discounting guidance

Overview of the Performance Tables discounting rules for Exams for KS5 cohorts

• 16 to 18 qualifications and discount codes

A list of approved qualifications separated by reporting cohort and their discount codes. This can be handy to search in order to check if a qualification your student's are taking is approved for that cohort, and therefore would count towards performance tables / measures, or which qualifications would discount one another where a student takes more than one. 

• Performance points for qualifications counting in the 16 to 18 performance tables

You can use this to check an approved qualification's performance points (the points associated to each grade) via the DfE's performance points spreadsheets, usually released for each cohort, each year.
