The DfE has published technical guidance on primary school accountability in 2019. This document provides information on 2019 performance tables, how a school's progress scores are calculated, how points scores are allocated and how to interpret progress scores. 

Schools received their own revised progress scores on 11 December 2019. Annex B of the guidance provides the national distribution of schools' progress scores in 2019 to help schools interpret and contextualise their own scores.

As in previous versions, the tables and diagrams in the guidance have been updated to reflect the revised 2019 data.

The DfE has also published information on how progress measure 'bandings' were calculated for 2017, 2018 and 2019.
