Performance league tables will set higher expectations and chart pupil progress more than at present.
For secondary schools, a school will be below the minimum "floor target" if fewer than 35 per cent of pupils achieve the five A*-C grade GCSEs including English and maths, and fewer pupils make good progress between Key Stages 2 and 4 than the national average.
