Exam data and results for English senior schools

KS2 data is available for English state junior schools, GCSE and A level data for English senior schools

For individual schools, subscribers get the inside track on:

Is this a good school for a child like mine?

• How well a school performs.
• Which schools do best by the brightest, the average or below average child. 
• Who adds the most value.
• Which schools a particular school recruits from and where children move onto.
• The universities sixth-formers go on to and the courses they follow. 
• The types of courses available - just GCSEs and A-levels or vocational, IB Pre-U and other options? 
• What subjects are popular at a school and where the best results are.

Value added to pupil performance by the school

Even good schools can have weak links - great results can mask a poor showing in an individual subject or department - make sure it isn't a subject that matters to your child. If it is an English state school you can even see the value a school adds to its intake.
