The 2024/25 and 2025/26 cohorts did not sit official KS2 tests as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, they do not have any official Scaled Scores, which would normally be used as the baselines to calculate these measures.
While all attainment-based headline figures, for example, EBacc, Attainment 8 and Basics should all still be available as normal, Progress 8 and the Sisra-exclusive SPI measure cannot be calculated and will be blank in reports due to there being no KS2 baselines for these students.
The DfE have confirmed Progress 8 will not be reported on officially for 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 Leavers, as outlined in the DfE's Secondary Accountability Measures guidance.
Some schools have retrospectively assigned Scaled Scores to students, for example, from CAT tests and published reports for Progress 8 and SPI internal analysis. If you are a Sisra Administrator looking to obtain converted KS2 Scaled Scores for the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 cohorts, we have a webinar which goes through a simple conversion method linked here.
