- Attainment Track: Update on the progress of the Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 Track for 2025 Exam Year
We are pleased to announce that the Students included in the Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 Track for the 2025 exam year have now been submitted to the Department for Education for tracking
Following the annual submission of records eligible for tracking into Key Stage 4 (KS4) and Key Stage 5 (KS5), we are now pleased to share that the Department for Education (DfE) has commenced the process of linking your records to their GCSE and A Level/Level 3 2025 exam results in the National Pupil Database (NPD).
What happens next?
Following the linking process, the Students and their matched attainment outcomes from the NPD will then be made available to us in the Office for National Statistics’ (ONS) Secure Research Service (SRS), where we will prepare your member-level datasets, aggregated to Activity Type, Programme Title and Descriptor level.
We will provide you with an estimated timeline for release of the latest datasets and associated resources as soon as we have access to the data in the SRS.
If you would like to learn more about the HEAT Track and how impact can be monitored and evaluated, our HEAT Analysing Impact Page provides further information.
