Look more closely at Latymer Upper 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.
2,972 historical records · 1962–2026 · 40 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
There are too few years with comparable figures to judge a pattern in the share of sixth-form exam entries awarded A or above, or the equivalent. You can still see each year’s figures below.
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: Winchester and Latymer Upper, each year both can be compared. The gap is Winchester minus Latymer Upper, in percentage points.

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 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.

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.

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.
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* · 2016–2019, 2022–2026
St Paul’s comes out higher than Latymer Upper on the share of A-level entries awarded A* when the available years are compared. The same school comes out higher in every period we checked.
Measure: Share of published A-level entries awarded A* in the named examination year. Years: 2016–2019, 2022–2026.

A-level grades at A*: St Paul’s and Latymer Upper, each year both can be compared. The gap is St Paul’s minus Latymer Upper, in percentage points.
a. St Paul’s 2025: a dated review on 28 September 2026 found the printed 59.3% A* and 92.5% A*–A headlines on the school’s results page, but the subject table on the same page adds up to 701 of 759 grades at A*–A, which is 92.36%. What explains the difference, a different group of entries or another version of the page, is unresolved. The 759 is only the sum of the table’s rows: the school doesn’t give it as the base of its 92.5% headline, and we don’t treat it as one.
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.

The period check compares all shared years, the latest three, the latest five and each year left out in turn, not every possible period. The same school is ahead in every one of these choices of years.

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.
The government’s 2025 completion-cohort table gives 25 subjects with entries. The largest group is Mathematics (126 entries). 16 of them have both A* and A counts printed, so an A*–A percentage can be worked out.

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.

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.
Destination table · University destinations · 2025
The final-destination table lists 23 named institutions. University of Oxford has the largest recorded count (21). These are counts of destinations, not offer rates or anyone’s chance of admission.
Measure: Leavers’ final destinations, counted by named institution, as the school’s publication for that year gives them. Years: 2025.

We have selected one study to get you started. Choose up to 30 studies covering no more than five schools. A comparison counts both of its schools; the briefing includes the dates and sources you need to make sense of it.
Saving and issuing a new personal note require active research access. A note for client work requires Professional rights. The public answers and figures above are free.
What the historical record contains
These records collect what the school and other sources published over time. Before comparing two figures, check that they describe the same qualification and group. Applications, offers and places taken up each tell a different part of the university story.
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 the publications leave a question open, we say so. We do not fill a missing date or condition with an assumption.
