Look more closely at City of London School

A school-wide result can prompt a useful question, but it rarely finishes the enquiry. Start with the subjects, years or destinations that interest you, then follow the answer back to the original publication. You can bring the studies you need together in a dated briefing.

2,366 historical records · 1989–2026 · 35 studies. The years available differ between questions. Past results do not tell you which subjects a new pupil can take.

What would you like to understand?

The studies below explain what the results show and what could change the reading. A comparison can reveal a pattern worth asking about, while leaving the larger question of a school’s suitability open. The figures and sources are there to read for yourself.

Does a headline describe the whole sixth form?

A school with an IB or Pre-U route may publish an A-level figure that describes only some of its sixth form. Start by looking at who took which qualifications.

Comparison · A*–A or equivalent, all sixth-form exams · 2022–2025

How do Eton and City of London compare on A*–A or equivalent, all sixth-form exams?

Neither school has a consistent lead on the share of sixth-form exam entries awarded A or above, or the equivalent. City of London comes out slightly higher when all the available years are compared, but Eton comes out higher over some shorter periods.

Measure: Share of all A-level, Pre-U and IB Higher Level entries graded A*–A, Pre-U D1–D3 or IB HL 7–6. Years: 2022–2025.

Read the figures and their limits
A*–A or equivalent, all sixth-form exams: Eton and City of London, each year both can be compared. The gap is Eton minus City of London, in percentage points.
YearEton (%)City of London (%)Gap (points)
202284.4989.45−4.96
202380.2276.144.08
202476.681−4.4
202578.2753.2
Keep these limits with the answer
  • Comparable figure: TSR’s calculation across every A-level, Pre-U principal-subject and IB Higher Level entry, weighted by entries. Cambridge aligns Pre-U D3 with A and UCAS scores IB 6 like an A.
  • 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, 2024 and 2025. 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.
  • Counting A-level A*–A, Pre-U D1–D3 and IB Higher Level 7–6 together is our stated convention, weighted by entries. They are not the same examinations, and entries are not pupils.
  • Historical results: the latest shared year is 2025. They can’t show 2026 results.

0 of the 8 recorded figures behind this comparison have an exact source check for that field and year; 8 are recorded or calculated figures with their support set out in Record details. This is not a fresh check of every source.

Open the original records and sources

With research access, read our interpretation of the differences between the schools, see whether the choice of years changes the answer, and prepare questions for each school. Read the study and its additional analysis.

Still to confirm now: Which qualifications and pathways will be available for the intended entry year? The subjects and entry information below are a starting point for that conversation. The historical result cannot answer it.

Choose another question in this part of the research (7)

Does the comparison hold across different years?

A comparison needs years in which both schools published figures that count the same thing. Check whether a recent difference also appears earlier, and where missing years limit the view.

Comparison · A-level grades at A* · 2024–2026

How do City of London and Downe House compare on A-level grades at A*?

City of London comes out higher than Downe House on the share of A-level entries awarded A* when the available years are compared.

Measure: Share of published A-level entries awarded A* in the named examination year. Years: 2024–2026.

Read the figures and their limits
A-level grades at A*: City of London and Downe House, each year both can be compared. The gap is City of London minus Downe House, in percentage points.
YearCity of London (%)Downe House (%)Gap (points)
2024422616
2025392217
2026422220
Keep these limits with the answer
  • These figures cover A levels alone. IB, Pre-U and combined-qualification results are kept separately. Teacher-assessed results from 2020–21 are left out unless you choose to include them. Where publications disagree and the difference remains unresolved, both figures stay in the source record and neither enters this comparison.
  • 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: 2024, 2025 and 2026. 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 2026. 2026 counts only where a figure passes this measure’s usual rules.

6 of the 6 recorded figures behind this comparison have an exact source check for that field and year; 0 are recorded or calculated figures with their support set out in Record details. This is not a fresh check of every source.

Choose another question in this part of the research (25)

What sits behind a school-wide result?

A school-wide percentage can conceal quite different results in individual subjects. Look at the grades and the number of entries together: one pupil may account for several subject entries.

Subject study · A-level subjects · 2025

What do City of London’s recorded A-level subject entries show?

The government’s 2025 completion-cohort table gives 21 subjects with entries. The largest group is Mathematics (132 entries). 17 of them have both A* and A counts printed, so an A*–A percentage can be worked out.

Measure: A-level results by subject for the government’s 2025 completion cohort, with the counts as published. Years: 2025.

Keep these limits with the answer
  • These are not results-day figures, and the entries are not a count of pupils.
  • These are the government’s 2025 completion-cohort entries: qualifications completed by that cohort, not necessarily exams sat in 2025. The group can include up to three years of 16–18 study.
  • Each subject is taken by a different, self-selected group of pupils. Its percentages can’t show teaching quality or what one pupil would achieve.
  • A grade count that wasn’t printed, or was suppressed, is not treated as zero; without it, no percentage is given.
  • This is not a list of the subjects offered now. Check current subjects with the school.
  • No school-wide total, match with other sources or trend across years is drawn from this subject table.
  • These figures carry the record’s existing source checks, which are kept apart from background links. This edition didn’t reopen every original publication.
  • The 2025 completion cohort; not the subjects on offer in 2026.

Each row keeps its own source checks. The original government files weren’t reopened for this edition.

Still to confirm now: Is the subject offered now, can it fit the intended combination, and what entry conditions apply? The subjects and entry information below are a starting point for that conversation. The historical result cannot answer it.

What does a university destination list actually count?

A list of where leavers went can open up possibilities beyond the headline destinations. Check whose destinations it describes, and keep places taken up separate from applications and offers.

We have not yet published a destination study for this school. You can explore the dated university records in its public history below.

Still to confirm now: Which courses and pathways are available now, and which leavers does a newer published table include? The subjects and entry information below are a starting point for that conversation. The historical result cannot answer it.

Subjects, entry and the school week

A subject list is only the beginning. You also need to know whether the subjects fit together, what entry conditions apply and how the school day would work. The information below says when each source was checked and which year it concerns. Ask the school to confirm the arrangements for the year your child would join.

Where it’s from:Original publication

Worth knowing:Source: Department for Education performance tables (subject-level data). Qualification, as the DfE names it: GCSE (9-1) Full Course. The DfE counts its own GCSE-year group (the end of Key Stage 4), which may include qualifications taken in earlier years. The qualifications the performance tables count have changed, so this isn’t necessarily every exam entry at the school. Counts are subject results, not pupils. The DfE counts a different group, so its figures may not match the school’s own headline. This table gives the number of entries but not the grades, so the grade cells are blank, not zero.
