Here you'll see the top 100 state schools and colleges ranked in order. Use the table to compare schools against one another and click on a school name for more information. Schools are ranked according to the combined percentage of A* and A grades scored in GCSEs or vocational equivalent. Some comprehensive schools make it onto the list, even though they do not select by ability, as grammar schools do.
HOW TO READ THE TABLE
Type of school is C - comprehensive, G - grammar, SM - Secondary Modern and b - boys, g - girls and m - mixed, so C/m denotes mixed comprehensive.
Pupils is the number of candidates taking GCSEs this year.
The A*% and A% columns show the percentage of exams awarded those grades.
Eng/ Maths shows the percentage of pupils achieving five or more GCSE passes at grades A* to C including English and maths.
Sci shows the percentage of pupils achieving two or more GCSE passes at grades A* to C in science subjects.
Points is average score per pupil, where an A* equals 58 points, an A 52, a B 46 down to 16 for a grade G.
The A*+A% figure, used to rank schools, is the percentage of exams awarded either A* or A grades. If there is a tie, the school with the higher percentage of A* grades ranks first. If any columns are blank, the school did not provide the information.
