4 Page 10 ELaccreditation news September 2014 Integrating excellence Melanie Butler explains how the Gazette brings together the old and new British Council inspection results to produce its quality rankings TOP OF THE CLASS English in Chester has been ranked joint first with nine points of excellence under the old BC inspection regime Key * = perfect score red = new entry since our September 2013 edition Top-ranked group 15 strengths Wimbledon School of English* 9 points English in Chester English Language Centre Bristol Second-ranked group (top 0.3%) (top 0.3%) HOw can you compare the number of apples scored by one group with the number of pears scored by another, even if the fruit have been handed to both groups by the same teacher? On these pages we have ranked organisations inspected by ~ the British Council under the ~ scheme running until the end ; of 2011 (where a maximum <Q. of approximately ten points of :;. ~ excellence could be awarded) ~ with centres inspected under m the new scheme (where up to ~ fifteen points of strength can be awarded, although most providers can only score fourteen). The only way to do this is by norm-referencing - in other words, you compare the percentile rankings of centres across the two groups. For example, Wimbledon School of English is the only one of the 290 centres so far inspected under the new regime to have scored all fifteen points, which puts it in the top 0.35 per cent. Similarly, ELC Bristol and English in Chester, the two top schools left under the old system, scored an unbeaten nine points, putting them in the top 0.37 of the total 540 results recorded at the end of 2011 before the system changed. The difference between these three schools is so infinitesimally small that we have placed all three schools in joint top spot. To make it visually clear all the names in the red boxes are schools inspected under the new system, while those in blue boxes were inspected under the old. It could be argued that this is still not fair, as under the new system many centres are not inspected on all fifteen criteria. However, this is a problem in most educational league tables. F or example, a university with a medical school will almost always rank higher than one without one because medical research is a category in most rankings. In theory, it should be possible for the Gazette to weight for criteria eligibility, indeed we might well trying doing so in the future, but when we are already comparing two different schemes it is an algorithm too far. Instead, we have marked with asterisks Beet Language Centre, Lake School of English and St Edmund's College, all of whom received a perfect score of fourteen points out of a possible fourteen, as well as Wimbledon School of English with fifteen out of fifteen. 14 strengths (top 0.5%) Beet Language Centre (ALPHA Language Centre)* Lake School of English Oxford Ltd* St Edmund's College, Ware* 8 points (top 0.5%) D'Overbroeck's College, Oxford Leeds Metropolitan University London School of English Language Specialists International, Portsmouth Sussex Downs College University of Edinburgh Third-ranked group 13 strengths Bell International Cambridge Hilderstone College (top 1%) 7 points (top 1%) Bell Young Learners Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College South Leicestershire College University of St Mark and St John, Plymouth Fourth-ranked group 12 strengths (top 1.5%) Excel English Language School Ltd Windermere International Summer School 6 points (top 1.5%) BABSSCO Discovery Summer The English Language Centre, Brighton The English Experience, Norwich Exeter Academy International Language Holidays Melton College Norwich Institute for Language Education (Nile) OISE Bristol Barnet Southgate College St Giles International, Brighton University of Brighton II strengths (top 2.5%) EF Bristol Kaplan International English Manchester
