+# GIAS OfficialSixthForm Flag Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Ingest GIAS's authoritative `OfficialSixthForm` flag into `marts.dim_school.has_sixth_form` and replace every `age_range contains "18"` heuristic in the backend and frontend with it.
+
+**Architecture:** Data flows tap → raw → dbt staging → dbt mart → backend SQL → API payload → Next.js components. The GIAS Singer tap must declare the new CSV column (target-postgres only persists declared columns); the dbt staging model renames it; `dim_school` derives a boolean (with a statutory-age fallback for blank GIAS values); the backend exposes it on list + detail payloads and uses it for the `has_sixth_form=yes|no` filter; the frontend badge/note/filter-labels switch from the age-range substring check to the flag.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Singer SDK (tap), dbt (Postgres), FastAPI + pandas, Next.js + TypeScript, pytest, Jest/RTL.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-07-exam-phase-taxonomy-design.md` §3.
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- A school **has a sixth form** iff GIAS `OfficialSixthForm (name)` = `"Has a sixth form"`. `"Does not have a sixth form"` and `"Not applicable"` → false. Blank/NULL (rare) → fall back to `statutory_high_age >= 18`.
+- The public API filter parameter stays `has_sixth_form=yes|no` (unchanged contract).
+- Filter dropdown labels must drop the age-range parentheticals: "With sixth form" / "Without sixth form" (sixth form ≠ age range).
+- Never push to `main`; work stays on branch `feat/gias-sixth-form-flag` (create from `docs/exam-phase-taxonomy` so the spec is included, or from `main` if that branch has merged).
+- The dbt models cannot be run locally (no pipeline DB); dbt changes are verified by review + `python -c` schema asserts + existing CI. Do NOT attempt to start a local server.
+- The backend marts tables are dbt `table` materializations — rebuilt on every pipeline run, so **no ALTER TABLE migration is needed** for `marts.dim_school`.
+- Deployment ordering: the tap must run before dbt on the first pipeline run after deploy (this is already the DAG order: extract → transform). Until that run happens, `has_sixth_form` is absent from the DB; the backend must treat a missing column as "flag false / fallback", never crash.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Ingest `OfficialSixthForm (name)` — tap schema + dbt staging
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `pipeline/plugins/extractors/tap-uk-gias/tap_uk_gias/tap.py:31-66` (Singer schema)
+- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/staging/stg_gias_establishments.sql` (add renamed column)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: raw column `"OfficialSixthForm (name)"` in `raw.gias_establishments`; staging column `official_sixth_form` (text: `Has a sixth form` / `Does not have a sixth form` / `Not applicable` / NULL) consumed by Task 2.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the property to the Singer schema**
+
+In `tap.py`, inside `GIASEstablishmentsStream.schema = th.PropertiesList(...)`, add after the `th.Property("PhaseOfEducation (name)", th.StringType),` line:
+
+```python
+        th.Property("OfficialSixthForm (name)", th.StringType),
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify the tap module still imports and declares the column**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+cd /Users/tudor/projects/school_compare/pipeline/plugins/extractors/tap-uk-gias && \
+python3 -c "
+import ast, sys
+src = open('tap_uk_gias/tap.py').read()
+ast.parse(src)
+assert '\"OfficialSixthForm (name)\"' in src.replace(\"'\", '\"')
+print('OK: tap declares OfficialSixthForm (name)')
+"
+```
+Expected: `OK: tap declares OfficialSixthForm (name)`
+(Uses `ast.parse` instead of importing because `singer_sdk` is not installed locally.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the column to the staging model**
+
+In `stg_gias_establishments.sql`, in the `renamed` CTE, add after the `"PhaseOfEducation (name)" as phase,` line:
+
+```sql
+        nullif(trim("OfficialSixthForm (name)"), '')    as official_sixth_form,
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Sanity-check the SQL edit**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+grep -n "official_sixth_form" /Users/tudor/projects/school_compare/pipeline/transform/models/staging/stg_gias_establishments.sql
+```
+Expected: one line showing the new column inside the `renamed` CTE (before `from source`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add pipeline/plugins/extractors/tap-uk-gias/tap_uk_gias/tap.py pipeline/transform/models/staging/stg_gias_establishments.sql
+git commit -m "feat(pipeline): ingest GIAS OfficialSixthForm into staging

+
+### Task 2: Derive `dim_school.has_sixth_form` (dbt mart + schema tests + SQLAlchemy model)
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/marts/dim_school.sql` (add derived column)
+- Modify: `pipeline/transform/models/marts/_marts_schema.yml` (document + test the column)
+- Modify: `backend/models.py:13-38` (`DimSchool` — add column)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `official_sixth_form` text column from Task 1's staging model.
+- Produces: `marts.dim_school.has_sixth_form boolean not null`, and `DimSchool.has_sixth_form = Column(Boolean)` for the backend. Task 3 selects it as `s.has_sixth_form`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add the derived column to `dim_school.sql`**
+
+In the `select`, add after the `s.age_range` line (`s.statutory_low_age || '-' || s.statutory_high_age as age_range,`):
+
+```sql
+    -- Authoritative sixth-form flag (spec §3): GIAS OfficialSixthForm.
+    -- "Not applicable" (nurseries, primaries, PRUs) => false. Blank GIAS
+    -- value (rare, new establishments) falls back to the statutory age range.
+    case
+        when s.official_sixth_form = 'Has a sixth form' then true
+        when s.official_sixth_form in ('Does not have a sixth form', 'Not applicable') then false
+        else coalesce(s.statutory_high_age >= 18, false)
+    end as has_sixth_form,
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add schema documentation + tests in `_marts_schema.yml`**
+
+Under `- name: dim_school` → `columns:`, add after the `phase` column block:
+
+```yaml
+      - name: has_sixth_form
+        description: >
+          Authoritative sixth-form flag from GIAS OfficialSixthForm.
+          "Has a sixth form" => true; "Does not have a sixth form" and
+          "Not applicable" => false; blank GIAS value falls back to
+          statutory_high_age >= 18. Replaces the age_range-contains-"18"
+          heuristic (spec 2026-07-07 §3).
+        tests:
+          - not_null
+          - accepted_values:
+              values: [true, false]
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the column to the `DimSchool` SQLAlchemy model**
+
+In `backend/models.py`, in `class DimSchool`, add after `age_range = Column(String(20))`:
+
+```python
+    has_sixth_form = Column(Boolean)
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify SQL/YAML/Python all parse**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+cd /Users/tudor/projects/school_compare && \
+python3 -c "
+import yaml
+y = yaml.safe_load(open('pipeline/transform/models/marts/_marts_schema.yml'))
+dim = [m for m in y['models'] if m['name'] == 'dim_school'][0]
+cols = [c['name'] for c in dim['columns']]
+assert 'has_sixth_form' in cols, cols
+print('OK: schema yml documents has_sixth_form')
+" && \
+grep -c "has_sixth_form" pipeline/transform/models/marts/dim_school.sql && \
+python3 -c "import ast; ast.parse(open('backend/models.py').read()); print('OK: models.py parses')"
+```
+Expected: `OK: schema yml documents has_sixth_form`, grep count `>= 1`, `OK: models.py parses`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add pipeline/transform/models/marts/dim_school.sql pipeline/transform/models/marts/_marts_schema.yml backend/models.py
+git commit -m "feat(pipeline): derive dim_school.has_sixth_form from GIAS flag

+Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 3: Backend — expose `has_sixth_form` and replace the filter heuristic
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `backend/data_loader.py:117-215` (`_MAIN_QUERY` — select the column)
+- Modify: `backend/schemas.py:536-553` (`SCHOOL_COLUMNS` — include in list payloads)
+- Modify: `backend/app.py:419-422` (filter) and `backend/app.py:589-610` (detail `school_info`)
+- Test: `backend/tests/test_sixth_form_flag.py` (new)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `marts.dim_school.has_sixth_form` (Task 2).
+- Produces: `has_sixth_form: bool | null` field on `GET /api/schools` items and on `GET /api/schools/{urn}` → `school_info`. Filter `GET /api/schools?has_sixth_form=yes|no` now driven by the flag. Frontend (Task 4) reads `school.has_sixth_form`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
+

+
+```python
+"""Tests for the GIAS-driven has_sixth_form flag (spec 2026-07-07 §3).

+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Create `nextjs-app/__tests__/components/SecondarySchoolRow.test.tsx`:
+
+```tsx
+/**
+ * SecondarySchoolRow — sixth-form tag must come from the GIAS
+ * has_sixth_form flag, not the age_range-contains-"18" heuristic.
+ */
+
+import '@testing-library/jest-dom';
+import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
+import { SecondarySchoolRow } from '@/components/SecondarySchoolRow';
+import type { School } from '@/lib/types';
+
+const base = {
+  urn: 100002,
+  school_name: 'Beta Sixth Form College',
+  local_authority: 'Testshire',
+  school_type: 'Academy',
+  phase: 'Secondary',
+  gender: 'Mixed',
+  attainment_8_score: 50.0,
+} as unknown as School;
+
+describe('SecondarySchoolRow sixth-form tag', () => {
+  it('shows the tag for a 16-19 college with the GIAS flag set', () => {
+    render(
+      <SecondarySchoolRow
+        school={{ ...base, age_range: '16-19', has_sixth_form: true }}
+      />,
+    );
+    expect(screen.getByText('Sixth form')).toBeInTheDocument();
+  });
+
+  it('hides the tag for an 11-18 school without a registered sixth form', () => {
+    render(
+      <SecondarySchoolRow
+        school={{ ...base, age_range: '11-18', has_sixth_form: false }}
+      />,
+    );
+    expect(screen.queryByText('Sixth form')).not.toBeInTheDocument();
+  });
+
+  it('hides the tag when the flag is missing (pipeline not yet re-run)', () => {
+    render(
+      <SecondarySchoolRow school={{ ...base, age_range: '11-18' }} />,
+    );
+    expect(screen.queryByText('Sixth form')).not.toBeInTheDocument();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run it to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `cd /Users/tudor/projects/school_compare/nextjs-app && npx jest __tests__/components/SecondarySchoolRow.test.tsx`
+Expected: FAIL — first test can't find "Sixth form" ("16-19" fails the substring check), second test finds an unexpected "Sixth form" tag. (If TS complains that `has_sixth_form` is not on `School`, that is the same failure — proceed.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add the field to the `School` type**
+
+In `nextjs-app/lib/types.ts`, in `export interface School`, add after `age_range: string | null;`:
+
+```ts
+  has_sixth_form?: boolean | null;
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Switch `SecondarySchoolRow` to the flag**
+
+Replace the helper at `SecondarySchoolRow.tsx:25-27`:
+
+```ts
+function hasSixthForm(school: School): boolean {
+  return school.age_range?.includes('18') ?? false;
+}
+```
+
+with:
+
+```ts
+function hasSixthForm(school: School): boolean {
+  // GIAS OfficialSixthForm flag; missing (pipeline not yet re-run) => false.
+  return school.has_sixth_form ?? false;
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Switch `SecondarySchoolDetailView` to the flag**
+
+Replace line 101:
+
+```ts
+  const hasSixthForm = schoolInfo.age_range?.includes('18') ?? false;
+```
+
+with:
+
+```ts
+  // GIAS OfficialSixthForm flag; missing (pipeline not yet re-run) => false.
+  const hasSixthForm = schoolInfo.has_sixth_form ?? false;
+```
+
+(This drives both the header "Sixth form" badge at line ~230 and the "Post-16 destination data coming soon" note at line ~715 — no changes needed there.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Fix the filter labels in `FilterBar.tsx`**
+
+Replace:
+
+```tsx
+                    <option value="yes">With sixth form (11-18)</option>
+                    <option value="no">Without sixth form (11-16)</option>
+```
+
+with:
+
+```tsx
+                    <option value="yes">With sixth form</option>
+                    <option value="no">Without sixth form</option>
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run the new test and verify it passes**
+
+Run: `cd /Users/tudor/projects/school_compare/nextjs-app && npx jest __tests__/components/SecondarySchoolRow.test.tsx`
+Expected: 3 passed.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Run the full frontend checks**
+
+Run: `cd /Users/tudor/projects/school_compare/nextjs-app && npx tsc --noEmit && npx jest`
+Expected: typecheck clean, all Jest suites pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Verify no heuristic remains**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+grep -rn "includes('18')\|contains(\"18\")" /Users/tudor/projects/school_compare/nextjs-app/components /Users/tudor/projects/school_compare/backend --include="*.tsx" --include="*.ts" --include="*.py" | grep -v test
+```
+Expected: only the documented fallback inside `app.py` (DB-predates-pipeline branch); no other hits.
+
+- [ ] **Step 10: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add nextjs-app/lib/types.ts nextjs-app/components/SecondarySchoolRow.tsx nextjs-app/components/SecondarySchoolDetailView.tsx nextjs-app/components/FilterBar.tsx nextjs-app/__tests__/components/SecondarySchoolRow.test.tsx

+### Task 5: Update the spec status + PR
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-07-exam-phase-taxonomy-design.md` (§3 "Pipeline change (future work)" → implemented)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: everything above merged into the branch.
+- Produces: PR ready for review; e2e journeys are the promotion gate (no journey currently exercises the sixth-form filter, and the API contract is unchanged, so no e2e change is required — state this in the PR body).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Mark spec §3 pipeline change as implemented**
+
+In the spec, change the §3 heading `### Pipeline change (future work)` to `### Pipeline change (implemented 2026-07-07)` and append one line at the end of that subsection:
+
+```markdown
+Implemented in `feat/gias-sixth-form-flag` — see
+`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-07-07-gias-sixth-form-flag.md`.
+```

+git commit -m "docs: mark sixth-form flag pipeline change implemented
+
+Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Push and open the PR (Gitea)**
+
+Push the branch, then create the PR against `main` using the Gitea API via the git credential helper (token-header auth 401s on this Gitea; basic auth from `git credential fill` works):
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin feat/gias-sixth-form-flag
+```
+
+PR title: `feat: drive sixth-form separation from GIAS OfficialSixthForm flag`
+PR body must note: (1) API contract unchanged (`has_sixth_form=yes|no`), (2) flag is NULL until the next pipeline run — backend and frontend degrade to "no sixth form" / age-range fallback, (3) no e2e journey change needed, and end with the standard generation footer.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Verify CI passes**
+
+Watch the PR checks (typecheck, tests, builds, AI review). All must pass before merge; merging deploys to staging automatically.

+# Exam Results Taxonomy — Phase Grouping and Sixth-Form Separation
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-07
+**Status:** Approved design (taxonomy/analysis only — no implementation in this doc's scope)
+
+## Purpose
+
+Classify every exam-result metric SchoolCompare displays today into four phase
+groups — **Primary**, **Secondary**, **Sixth form**, **Other** — and define an
+authoritative rule for separating schools that have a sixth form from those
+that don't. This document is the reference for:
+
+1. How the UI should group results sections and rankings by phase.
+2. The future KS5 (A-level) ingestion work — the Sixth form group lists the
+   concrete DfE metrics as placeholders with source columns.
+3. Replacing the fragile `age_range contains "18"` heuristic with the GIAS
+   `OfficialSixthForm` flag.
+
+## 1. Grouping principle
+
+Metrics are grouped by **the key stage of the assessment**, not by the phase
+of the school displaying them. An all-through school (4–18) shows metrics in
+all three exam groups; a pure primary shows only the Primary group.
+
+| Group | Assessments | Key stage | Taken at age | Data status |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Primary** | KS2 SATs (reading, writing TA, maths, GPS, science TA) | KS2 | 10–11 (Year 6) | ✅ Live — `marts.fact_ks2_performance` |
+| **Secondary** | GCSEs, Attainment 8 / Progress 8, EBacc | KS4 | 15–16 (Year 11) | ✅ Live — `marts.fact_ks4_performance` |
+| **Sixth form** | A levels, applied general, tech levels | KS5 (16–18) | 17–18 (Year 12–13) | ⏳ Not ingested — placeholders in §4 |
+| **Other** | Non-exam context displayed alongside results | n/a | n/a | ✅ Live — various marts |
+
+Not covered (not displayed today, candidates for future "Other"/Primary):
+EYFS Good Level of Development, Year 1 Phonics check, Year 4 Multiplication
+Tables Check, KS1 assessments (no longer published at school level by DfE).
+
+## 2. Metric-by-metric mapping (current site)
+
+Every key in `backend/schemas.py` `METRIC_DEFINITIONS` — the single source of
+truth for what the site displays — mapped to its phase group. `category` is
+the existing schema category; source columns are the DfE names used at
+ingestion (legacy performance-tables CSV for KS2, EES for KS4).
+
+### Primary (KS2 SATs)
+
+| Metric key | Category | DfE source column |
+|---|---|---|
+| `rwm_expected_pct` | expected | `PTRWM_EXP` |
+| `reading_expected_pct` | expected | `PTREAD_EXP` |
+| `writing_expected_pct` | expected | `PTWRITTA_EXP` |
+| `maths_expected_pct` | expected | `PTMAT_EXP` |
+| `gps_expected_pct` | expected | `PTGPS_EXP` |
+| `science_expected_pct` | expected | `PTSCITA_EXP` |
+| `rwm_high_pct` | higher | `PTRWM_HIGH` |
+| `reading_high_pct` | higher | `PTREAD_HIGH` |
+| `writing_high_pct` | higher | `PTWRITTA_HIGH` |
+| `maths_high_pct` | higher | `PTMAT_HIGH` |
+| `gps_high_pct` | higher | `PTGPS_HIGH` |
+| `reading_progress` | progress | `READPROG` |
+| `writing_progress` | progress | `WRITPROG` |
+| `maths_progress` | progress | `MATPROG` |
+| `reading_avg_score` | average | `READ_AVERAGE` |
+| `maths_avg_score` | average | `MAT_AVERAGE` |
+| `gps_avg_score` | average | `GPS_AVERAGE` |
+| `rwm_expected_boys_pct` | gender | `PTRWM_EXP_B` |
+| `rwm_expected_girls_pct` | gender | `PTRWM_EXP_G` |
+| `rwm_high_boys_pct` | gender | `PTRWM_HIGH_B` |
+| `rwm_high_girls_pct` | gender | `PTRWM_HIGH_G` |
+| `rwm_expected_disadvantaged_pct` | equity | `PTRWM_EXP_FSM6CLA1A` |
+| `rwm_expected_non_disadvantaged_pct` | equity | `PTRWM_EXP_NotFSM6CLA1A` |
+| `disadvantaged_gap` | equity | `DIFFN_RWM_EXP` |
+| `reading_absence_pct` | absence | `PTREAD_AT` |
+| `gps_absence_pct` | absence | `PTGPS_AT` |
+| `maths_absence_pct` | absence | `PTMAT_AT` |
+| `writing_absence_pct` | absence | `PTWRITTA_AD` |
+| `science_absence_pct` | absence | `PTSCITA_AD` |
+| `rwm_expected_3yr_pct` | trends | `PTRWM_EXP_3YR` |
+| `reading_avg_3yr` | trends | `READ_AVERAGE_3YR` |
+| `maths_avg_3yr` | trends | `MAT_AVERAGE_3YR` |
+
+The absence metrics measure absence *from KS2 tests*, so they belong to
+Primary even though they are not attainment scores. National comparators for
+this group come from `marts.fact_ks2_national_averages`.
+
+### Secondary (KS4 / GCSE)
+
+| Metric key | Category | EES source column |
+|---|---|---|
+| `attainment_8_score` | gcse | `attainment8_average` |
+| `progress_8_score` | gcse | `progress8_average` |
+| `english_maths_standard_pass_pct` | gcse | `engmath_94_percent` |
+| `english_maths_strong_pass_pct` | gcse | `engmath_95_percent` |
+| `ebacc_entry_pct` | gcse | `ebacc_entering_percent` |
+| `ebacc_standard_pass_pct` | gcse | `ebacc_94_percent` |
+| `ebacc_strong_pass_pct` | gcse | `ebacc_95_percent` |
+| `ebacc_avg_score` | gcse | `ebacc_aps_average` |
+| `gcse_grade_91_pct` | gcse | `gcse_91_percent` |
+
+Also stored in `marts.fact_ks4_performance` (and `fact_performance`) but not
+yet in `METRIC_DEFINITIONS` — Secondary group members when surfaced:
+`progress_8_lower_ci`, `progress_8_upper_ci`, `progress_8_english`,
+`progress_8_maths`, `progress_8_ebacc`, `progress_8_open`,
+`prior_attainment_avg` (KS2 baseline of the GCSE cohort), `sen_pct`.
+
+### Sixth form (KS5)
+
+No metrics today. The secondary school detail view renders a static note
+("Post-16 destination data coming soon") when the school has a sixth form.
+Placeholders for ingestion are specified in §4.
+
+### Other (non-exam context)
+
+Displayed alongside results but not tied to any assessment:
+
+| Metric key / surface | Category | Source |
+|---|---|---|
+| `disadvantaged_pct` | context | KS2 CSV `PTFSM6CLA1A` |
+| `eal_pct` | context | KS2 CSV `PTEALGRP2` |
+| `sen_support_pct` | context | KS2 CSV `PSENELK` (KS4 fallback `sen_no_ehcp_pupil_percent`) |
+| `stability_pct` | context | KS2 CSV `PTMOBN` |
+| Ofsted grades incl. `sixth_form_provision` / `rc_sixth_form` | — | `marts.fact_ofsted_inspection` |
+| Admissions (offers, oversubscription) | — | `marts.fact_admissions` |
+| Finance (per-pupil spend, cost shares) | — | `marts.fact_finance` |
+| Deprivation (IDACI) | — | `marts.fact_deprivation` |
+| Pupil characteristics (census) | — | `marts.fact_pupil_characteristics` |
+
+Note: the context metrics are cohort characteristics of the KS2 cohort at
+source, but they are presented (and should stay presented) as school-level
+context, so they group as Other, not Primary.
+
+## 3. Sixth-form separation
+
+### Definition (authoritative)
+
+> A school **has a sixth form** iff GIAS `OfficialSixthForm (name)` =
+> `"Has a sixth form"` for its URN.
+
+GIAS values are `Has a sixth form`, `Does not have a sixth form`, and
+`Not applicable` / blank. `Not applicable` (nurseries, primaries, PRUs) maps
+to **false**. This field is the DfE's registry flag, updated continuously,
+and is the only source that correctly classifies:
+
+- 16–19 sixth-form colleges and UTCs (age ranges like `14-19`, `16-19` that
+  the current substring heuristic misclassifies as *no* sixth form);
+- schools whose statutory age range extends to 18 on paper but which have no
+  registered post-16 provision.
+
+### Pipeline change (implemented 2026-07-07)
+
+1. `stg_gias_establishments.sql`: add
+   `"OfficialSixthForm (name)" as official_sixth_form`.
+2. `dim_school.sql` (+ `models.py` `DimSchool`, `_marts_schema.yml`): add
+   `has_sixth_form boolean` = `official_sixth_form = 'Has a sixth form'`.
+3. Expose `has_sixth_form` on the school API payloads.
+
+Implemented in `feat/gias-sixth-form-flag` — see
+`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-07-07-gias-sixth-form-flag.md`.
+
+### Current heuristic — audit of `age_range` ~ "18" sites
+
+All must migrate to the `has_sixth_form` flag once exposed:
+
+| Site | Current behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| `backend/app.py:419-422` | `/api/schools?has_sixth_form=yes\|no` filters on `age_range.str.contains("18")` |
+| `nextjs-app/components/SecondarySchoolDetailView.tsx:101` | "Sixth form" badge + coming-soon note from `age_range?.includes('18')` |
+| `nextjs-app/components/FilterBar.tsx:370-372` | Filter labels hard-code "(11-18)" / "(11-16)" — labels should drop the age-range parenthetical since sixth form ≠ age range |
+
+Fallback rule: if GIAS is blank for a URN (rare; new establishments), fall
+back to the age-range heuristic and log the URN.
+
+### UI separation rules
+
+- **School page**: schools with `has_sixth_form = true` show a Sixth form
+  results section (placeholder until KS5 data lands); schools without never
+  show it. Badge on the header as today, but driven by the flag.
+- **Search/rankings filter**: "With sixth form" / "Without sixth form" uses
+  the flag; applies to secondary and all-through phases.
+- **Comparison**: when comparing a with-sixth-form school against one
+  without, the Sixth form group renders "No sixth form" for the latter
+  rather than blank cells, making the structural difference explicit.
+
+## 4. Sixth form placeholders — future KS5 ingestion spec
+
+Source: DfE "A level and other 16 to 18 results" (EES, preferred — matches
+the KS4 EES tap) or legacy performance-tables `england_ks5final.csv`.
+Column names below are from the legacy KS5 CSV; verify against the EES
+release chosen at ingestion time.
+
+| Proposed metric key | Name | Legacy source column | Type |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `alevel_aps_per_entry` | A level average points per entry | `TALLPPE_ALEV_1618` | score |
+| `alevel_avg_grade` | A level average grade (e.g. B-) | `TALLPPEGRD_ALEV_1618` | grade |
+| `academic_aps_per_entry` | Academic qualifications APS per entry | `TALLPPE_ACAD_1618` | score |
+| `applied_general_aps_per_entry` | Applied general APS per entry | `TALLPPE_AGEN_1618` | score |
+| `tech_level_aps_per_entry` | Tech level APS per entry | `TALLPPE_TLEV_1618` | score |
+| `english_progress_1618` | English progress (16–18, unfinished GCSE 4+) | `PROGENG_1618` | score |
+| `maths_progress_1618` | Maths progress (16–18) | `PROGMAT_1618` | score |
+| `ks5_cohort_size` | Students at end of 16–18 study | `TALLPUP_1618` | count |
+| `alevel_3plus_aab_pct` | % achieving AAB+ in ≥2 facilitating subjects | `TAAB2FAC_1618` | percentage |
+| `ks5_retention_pct` | Retention (completed main programme) | study-programme retention measure | percentage |
+| `ks5_destinations_pct` | Sustained education/employment destination | 16–18 destination measures dataset | percentage |
+
+Proposed landing shape mirrors KS4: `stg_ees_ks5.sql` →
+`int_ks5_with_lineage.sql` → `marts.fact_ks5_performance` (one row per URN
+per year), joined into `fact_performance`, with a `category: "sixth_form"`
+(or `"alevel"`) block added to `METRIC_DEFINITIONS`.
+
+## 5. Out of scope
+
+- Any implementation (pipeline, API, or UI changes) — this is the taxonomy
+  reference; implementation work items are §3 "Pipeline change", the
+  heuristic migration audit, and §4 ingestion, each to be planned separately.
+- Middle schools (deemed secondary/primary): they follow the assessment-based
+  grouping automatically — no special casing.
+- Independent schools: no DfE performance data published; unaffected.
