Read this with the answer

  • A-level-only series. IB, Pre-U, mixed qualifications and school-defined combined definitions are excluded. CAG/TAG years 2020–21 are excluded by default; unresolved competing values are retained in the evidence record but omitted here.
  • Published results describe different groups of pupils, chosen in different ways. They can’t show the effect of attending a school, or what one pupil would achieve.
  • Only the years both schools can be compared on are used: 2022, 2023 and 2024. A missing or excluded year is not a zero result.
  • Fewer than five shared years, which is too few for the period check: it needs five.
  • These figures carry the record’s existing source checks, which are kept apart from background links. This edition didn’t reopen every original publication.
  • Historical results: the latest shared year is 2024. They can’t show 2026 results.

2 of the 6 recorded figures behind this comparison have an exact source check for that field and year; 4 are recorded or calculated figures with their support set out in Record details. This is not a fresh check of every source.
