# GO 4 Schools system column sets (Wales)
To support schools in quickly and efficiently reviewing the data for a year group we have created a system set of data within the data explorer. This GO 4 Schools system set has an overview of student contextual data, counts above/on/below target, entries as well as the overall residual for individual students. This article outlines the methodology used in the pre-set data columns.
#### **Accessing the system sets**
Using the **Pathfinder** menu, access any year group, and then select **Year group explorer**.
Once the explorer has opened, clicking on the **Load/save a set of columns** will give you access to the set:
#### **GO 4 Schools system set - Key Stage 4**
This set includes your key data for your students:
- **Student identification data** - Last name, first name, UPN, registration group.
- **Student contextual data** - Sex, FSM, SEN/ALN Code - these attributes must belong to an **[attribute set](https://support.go4schools.com/en/support/solutions/articles/80001045235).**
- **Behaviour -** if available via your MIS or GO 4 Schools, overall positive and negative scores, as well as the net behaviour score.
- **Attendance** - Percentage attendance, Attendance band (%).
- **Attainment data**:
- **Residual data** - The calculated average residual based on the main progress and target grade, Number of grades above/on/below target, number of missing progress grades, number of missing target grades.
- **Missing grades** - This is a count of missing grades, where grades are missing for either target or progress, the subject cannot be included in the overall residual calculation or target counts.
- **A\* - C attainment band (inc En/We/Lit)** - Progress grade count of subjects at threshold A\* - C and if they include English, Welsh, maths or science:
- **Number of GCSE entries (or equiv)** - this is based on the count of formal qualifications. For Welsh schools entries will count the size of the qualification so will include short courses as 0.5 and Science as 2.
- **Capped 9 Score** - Progress and target grade listing overall score and each area of literacy, numeracy, science.
- **Subject data** - The progress grade, target grade, and residual band/value for all subjects listed alphabetically:
