Shown, not compared

Brighton’s publications give different lettered GCSE figures for 2016. We show the figure but don’t compare it. The latest year we compare is 2010: 40.2%.

Our latest figure is for 2016. Brighton printed percentages without the number of grades, so we cannot combine its different qualifications. Brighton: between 12% and 40.2% A* or 9–8 grades in the 3 years we can compare.

Before you compare

Official publications provide selected examination and university figures from 1991 onwards. There are gaps, and questions remain about some revised sources, deferred university entry and combined qualifications. These headlines cannot predict an individual pupil’s prospects.

Start with the same qualification, grade band and years for both schools. That gives you a fairer reading of their results. Whether your child would enjoy and thrive in either school needs a wider conversation.

Where leavers went

Offers aren’t places: one pupil can hold several offers but take up one place.

Latest Oxford and Cambridge figures: 2025 admissions roundLatest list of where leavers went: 2022 leaversLast checked 15 Oct 2026

There are also 23 more recent university records that aren’t destination lists (applications, offers and acceptances): some cover more than one step of the application process, and not all of them say what they count. They’re on the destinations page. A blank year is not a zero.

Questions to take to the school

  • How many A-level entries does your 2025 A* figure count? The publication we have doesn’t print the total.
  • How many GCSE/IGCSE entries does your 2026 grade 9 figure count? The publication we have doesn’t print the total.
  • Is there a list of where leavers went after 2022? It’s the latest we have.
  • What are this year’s entry points, dates and assessments?

Print these with the latest figures

Which years can I compare?

1,582 records from 1991 to 2026: results for A level, GCSE/IGCSE and Other qualifications (4 qualifications in all), and 261 university records. Taking the school’s figures as published, the longest run on one unchanged definition is A-level grades at A*, 2012–2025 (4 years). The record above counts its years on our combined annual figure, which joins qualifications and grading systems by a stated rule.

How many years each measure has, with a reason where a comparison is unavailable.

Years in each measure’s span. Columns overlap, so don’t add them up.
Measure and yearsYears with figuresYears in chartsPublications differ2020–21 (teacher-assessed)Ranges such as “over 90%”Years with no record at all

GCSE / IGCSE entries at grade 9 2018110000
Legacy GCSE / IGCSE entries at A* 2012–2013220000

The last column counts years in the span with no record at all, not zero results. A year can have figures and still not be comparable; those are counted in the columns to its left.

What we’ve searched

Across the years and categories below, we have a figure for 147 of 296 entries, searched without finding one for 128, and 21 didn’t apply. The search for missing figures is still open. A year without a figure isn’t a zero, and isn’t evidence the school published nothing.

  • Figure found — We have a figure for this year, with the document it came from.
  • Found, not compared — We have found a figure, but cannot establish exactly what it counts or whom it covers. It stays out of comparisons until that is clear.
  • No figure yet — We haven’t found a figure for this year. The notes below say where we looked and whether the search remains open. A missing figure does not mean the school published nothing.
  • Not researched yet — We haven’t searched for this year yet, so a blank here tells you nothing about what the school published.
  • Did not apply — This qualification or outcome didn’t exist, or wasn’t offered here, in this year, and we have a source that says so.
