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.
1,854 historical records · 1992–2026 · 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 · 2019, 2022–2023
Eton comes out higher than Radley on the share of sixth-form exam entries awarded A or above, or the equivalent when the available years are compared.
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: 2019, 2022–2023.
Read the figures and their limits

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: 2019, 2022 and 2023. 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 2023. They can’t show 2026 results.
0 of the 6 recorded figures behind this comparison have an exact source check for that field and year; 6 are recorded or calculated figures with their support set out in Record details. This is not a fresh check of every source.

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: 2019, 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026. A missing or excluded year is not a zero result.
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.
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.
7 of the 10 recorded figures behind this comparison have an exact source check for that field and year; 3 are recorded or calculated figures with their support set out in Record details. This is not a fresh check of every source.
This figure hasn’t been fully checked against the original yet.
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.

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 23 subjects with entries. The largest group is Mathematics (70 entries). 19 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.

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.
With research access, look more closely at the subject groups: how their size affects the percentages, what the grades suggest, and what to ask about the programme offered today. Read the study and its additional analysis.
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.
Your selected briefing
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.

Worth knowing:Good Schools Guide review; the 'Eighteen headed to the US' sentence follows the 2025 Oxbridge sentence but the year for the US figure is not stated explicitly (the school reported 18 US places for 2024) · russell_group_pct is a lower bound ('over 80 per cent').
Our special congratulations go to the 12 boys who secured their Oxbridge offers ... We're delighted to have 12 boys gain places at Oxford or Cambridge this year.

Where it’s from:Original publication
Worth knowing:Class of 2025 (6.2 leavers) · The post uses both 'secured their Oxbridge offers' and 'gain places at Oxford or Cambridge' for the same 12 boys (confirmed on results day).
Worth knowing:DfE 2025 16-18 performance-table measures reproduced by a tutoring site (GOV.UK itself was blocked). Same page: '154 pupils...at the end of Key Stage 4', 'Average Attainment 8 score...was 36', 'EBacc APS score per pupil...was 2.91' (KS4 measures are distorted for independent schools taking IGCSEs). Good Schools Guide gives 'Average points score (2025) 46.90' and '41.2% ... AAB or higher'.
Column headers: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 U Tot 9% 9-8% 9-7%. Total row: 625 415 250 128 47 14 7 2 1 1 1591 40 69 87 | 40% of grades this year were 9s and 69% grades 9-8 (A* equivalent). Significantly 31 Radley boys achieved grade 9s in nine or more subjects and 18 in ten or more. [Jonathan Porter:] To have 27 boys achieve nine 9s or more, and to have more than 86% of all grades at 9-7 (A or above), is remarkable.
The publication also reports another figure. Check it counts the same outcome and group before you use either.
What it counts and where it’s from
What it counts:Numbered grade entries
Subject entries:1,591
Where it’s from:also published: % 9–7 more than 86 (school post 2025) — the value shown controls
Worth knowing:Mixed GCSE and IGCSE (AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel, CIE board codes), all 9-1. Combined Science Trilogy double award shown separately. The printed grade counts (625+415+...+1) sum to 1490 rather than the printed Tot 1591; recorded as printed. · lower_bound applies to the 9-7 figure only ('more than 86%'). The post gives both '31 Radley boys achieved grade 9s in nine or more subjects' and, in the quotation, '27 boys achieve nine 9s or more' - both recorded as printed.
