Figure 12 : Target wards for HE outreach at the University of Portsmouth
2.6 Attainment & progression at the end of Key Stage 5
Figure 13 below shows the latest Level 3 results of young people 2 at state-funded schools and by gender and local authority . It covers students at the end of advanced level study who were entered for at least one substantial level 3 qualification in the 2014 / 15 academic year , and includes results achieved in the 2013 / 14 and 2014 / 15 academic years . Substantial advanced level academic or vocational qualifications are defined as qualifications that are at least the size of an A level ( 180 guided learning hours per year ), such as a BTEC subsidiary diploma . If a vocational or academic qualification is similar in size to 2 A levels it will be counted as 2 substantial level 3 qualifications . England figures include all schools and FE sector colleges . Nationally , boys do not perform as highly as girls in some areas in terms of the average point score achieved per student . Where attainment is generally low , the gaps between Males and Females tend to be narrower . In Portsmouth the share of boys achieving at least 2 substantive level 3 qualifications is above the share for girls , although the average point score per student is lower .
