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; subjects with 5 or more entries. Small entries swing a lot from year to year.
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.
