About these figures

Typical means the median state-funded school in England. In the bars, the fill is this school and the black line is the typical school.
Progress 8 (how pupils did against similar pupils nationally) isn't published for 2024/25, because these pupils sat no tests at 11 during Covid.
Attainment 8 and the English and maths measures aren't shown for independent schools: the government's versions leave out IGCSEs, which most independents take, so they read far too low (often 0%). The grade shares here count every GCSE and IGCSE entry.
GCSE tables: GCSE (9–1) full courses taken in 2024/25; A-level tables: GCE A levels taken in 2024/25; subjects with 5 or more entries. Small entries swing a lot from year to year.
11+ pass rate: passing isn't the same as a grammar place, and not every child sits the test, so the share passing depends on who chose to sit. Small numbers are hidden by the council as published. How grammar admissions work.
Living nearby doesn't guarantee a place. Admissions are set by the council or the school, and rules such as catchment, siblings and faith decide who gets in: check its admissions policy and how far away the last places went in recent years.
Sports facilities, not results: there is no national data on schools' sporting success.
The charity may run more than the school (a nursery, boarding, lettings or other schools), so treat per-pupil figures as rough.
