Average Points Score (APS) – A Simple Guide
At Notre Dame we use a student’s prior performance in examinations to guide progress to the next level
and to predict future potential. Although we accept that each student is an individual and that all students
develop at different rates, we have found this guide beneficial in making sure that students are on the right
course and combination of subjects.
Average Points Score (APS) is a calculation made by using grades achieved at GCSE level. Each grade is
given a points score and the mean average is found by adding all of the points together and dividing by the
number of GCSEs achieved.

Average Point Score: You will have received progress reviews on which your teachers will have indicated
your predicted grades and you have also received some actual GCSE grades. You should use both of these
to calculate your APS and use this to guide your choices.
