Before you compare

We are still researching the earlier years. Finding and checking one year’s source does not give us a complete annual history.

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.

Which years can I compare?

2,366 records from 1989 to 2026: results for A level, GCSE/IGCSE and Other qualifications (4 qualifications in all), and 828 university records. Taking the school’s figures as published, the longest run on one unchanged definition is A-level grades at A*, 2024–2026 (3 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.

A-level grades at A* 2024–2026330000

Legacy GCSE / IGCSE entries at A*We have figures for 16 years, but they do not count the same thing consistently enough to draw a comparison: covers a different group from the school-wide series.

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 146 of 304 entries, searched without finding one for 122, haven’t searched 6 yet, and 30 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.
