Gender and achievement

Gender is not the strongest predictor of attainment:
social class attainment gap at Key Stage 4 (as measured by percentage point difference in attainment between those eligible and not eligible for free school meals) is three times as wide as the gender gap
some minority ethnic groups attain significantly below the national average and their under-achievement is much greater than the gap between boys and girls
