end of Key Stage 4 (KS4) were achieving five plus A* to C including English and
Mathematics. This proportion was lower than both the East Midlands (57.1%) and England
(59.0%).
The proportion of boys at the end of Key Stage 4 achieving five plus A* to C including Maths
and English in Derby was 56.4% this was slightly less than the proportion of girls with
57.3%. Therefore, there is little difference in grade attainment by gender at KS4. This is not
the case in either the East Midlands or England where girls are achieving significantly
higher levels of attainment than boys.
