Abstract

This chapter presents a wide-ranging analysis of value-added estimates of school effectiveness, and discusses the dangers of disregarding knowledge about student disadvantage in their calculation. The analyses confirm concerns about biases in school performance figures created by school intakes, showing that value‐added measures exhibit worrying levels of instability. The analysis goes further by examining whether instability across time stems from differences between cohorts, and indeed whether measures based on a single cohort can reflect whole school performance now or in the future.
