Rounding check: The verdict holds at both ends of the schools’ rounding.
Exact gaps
Eton’s recorded result was typically 3.1–3.2 percentage points lower than Godolphin & Latymer’s across 6 shared years (2016, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024), depending on the schools’ rounding. “Typically” means the median of the annual differences.
- Latest shared year · 2024
- −5.1 pp
- Typical gap
- −3.2 pp to −3.1 pp
A positive gap puts Eton higher. Each shared year counts once in the median.
How we word verdicts
With fewer than 3 shared years we give the figures and no verdict. If at least 25% of the year ranges we test point the other way, it depends on the years. A typical gap under 1 point is too close to call. A gap of 1 to 3 points that at least 75% of ranges agree on holds up, narrowly; 3 points or more with at least 90% agreeing holds up. Every year range is tested, as on Test a claim. The verdict scale in full.
Share of all GCSE and IGCSE entries graded A*–A or 9–7.
Comparable figure · our calculation. Each card and table row keeps the school’s figure beside it. How comparable figures work.
What this measure leaves out
Comparable figure: TSR’s calculation across every GCSE and IGCSE entry on both scales, weighted by entries. Ofqual aligned the bottom of grade 7 with the bottom of the old A.

What these figures can’t tell you
Whether a gap lasts, yes. Why, no: results reflect who each school admits and which subjects pupils choose, as well as teaching. They can’t predict one child’s grades or admission, and this isn’t a test of statistical significance.
