ABSTRACT The issue of value‐added measures of school effectiveness is reviewed in relation to the Government's requirement for schools to publish raw examination results. The study reports a series of multilevel analyses of the 1993 GCSE examination results in Lancashire employing a wide variety of pupil intake and school context variables as well as a range of 1991 Census measures attached to each school's catchment area and each pupil's home area. The methodology involves evaluating and comparing the results of several different value‐added models controlling for different pupil and school background factors. The findings indicate that a substantial percentage of school level variation in pupil outcomes can be explained by pupil intake factors. In addition, comparisons between the different value‐added models indicate that when rich and wide‐ranging pupil level data (for example, prior attainment measures in different areas) are available and taken into account in the analysis, school‐context factors (s...
