When does a long historical comparison tell a different story?

Start and end dates matter, but so do the years and definitions that actually survive inside the window.

Covers: Eton’s 2015 list of where leavers went and its later 2025 counts illustrate an outcome-basis break. A separate 2015–2025 A-level comparison demonstrates the site’s existing period checks.

The answer

A long span of years isn’t the same as a long run of comparable figures. Check the shared years, the gaps, any change of definition and which runs of years were tested before calling something a lasting pattern. Two end points that count different things, such as where leavers went in one year and acceptances in another, can’t make one trend.

The figures

Each figure keeps its own year and group, and doesn’t change with your shortlist.

2015 · Leaver year

Eton · earlier Oxford + Cambridge destinations

The earlier source uses a final leaver-destination basis.

2025 · Apply-centre cycle count

The field’s published basis identifies apply-centre acceptances; not substituted for the earlier destination measure.

An old destination and a recent acceptance are not two points on one line

The older Eton example describes final leaver destinations. The later count’s published basis identifies apply-centre acceptances. Even if both are labelled Oxford plus Cambridge, joining them would change the outcome being measured underneath the line.

The useful historical question is which like-for-like series we have within each period. Preserve the destination archive, examine the later admissions series on its own terms, and leave the bridge unresolved unless compatible evidence supports it. A coincident overseas increase would not by itself prove that it caused a domestic change.

Count the years that actually contribute

A selected calendar window can contain missing records, incompatible qualifications or conflicting publications. Matched years are the dates on which the selected schools have eligible evidence on the same definition. They need not be consecutive, and two apparently equal windows may contain different numbers of usable observations.

A missing year is not a zero and should not be filled by a nearby year or an approximate period. Multi-year summaries remain summaries of their published period; they do not create an annual observation for each year inside it.

Test the question without moving the goalposts

The comparison reports matched annual differences and uses the existing period checks where enough comparable evidence is available. Those checks examine all matched years, the latest three and five matched years, and leaving out each matched year. They do not test every possible window. The claim checker supplies the separate broader window analysis.

If definitions change within the requested period, the reviewed model splits the matched evidence into constant-definition segments. A single median across different definitions is not manufactured to provide a tidier conclusion. “Insufficient comparable evidence” is a result about the question’s support, not a verdict on either school.

Treat the endpoint as a new question

After finding a pattern, ask whether it appears on a broader grade band, whether the latest observation is provisional, and whether application volume or cohort scope also changed. These are specific follow-on questions. A stable descriptive pattern still does not identify teaching quality or the cause of the difference.

Eton and Westminster: A-level grades at A*, 2015–2025

Share of published A-level entries awarded A* in the named examination year.

Eton’s recorded result was typically 8.7 percentage points lower than Westminster’s across 3 shared years (2017, 2019, 2025). “Typically” means the median of the annual differences.

Where these figures come from

Each record gives the full definition, the documents it came from and what we checked.

  1. Eton College · 2015 · Leaver destinations · 2000–2015 · 2015

    The earlier source uses a final leaver-destination basis.

    We don’t yet have a usable description of this figure’s source, or a check against the original. Its reference codes are kept for further research.

  2. Eton College · 2025 · Oxbridge destination counts · later years · 2025

    The field’s published basis identifies apply-centre acceptances; not substituted for the earlier destination measure.

    We don’t yet have a usable description of this figure’s source, or a check against the original. Its reference codes are kept for further research.

  • The two destination-related examples are deliberately not subtracted or plotted as one trend.
  • A lack of statistical significance is not proof of institutional resilience; no regression results from the older dossier are imported.
