The principle behind CVA is sound but it simply does not work as a useful and fair indicator of school achievement.

The suggestion that the Conservatives’ policies are “fatally flawed” is equally as ridiculous, given that Labour have already told colleges to get ready to produce outcome and satisfaction data for their students in their recent White Paper on skills (November 2009), so it’s clearly possible. May I suggest you do your ‘evidence-based’ research more carefully next time before you slam a policy as being too complicated and bureaucratic when the Government already has something rather similar in motion?
