https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education-and-careers/0/best-private-schools-uk-a-level-league-table-2023/
Highgate is 83% according to Highgate School itself, I am not sure where the Telegraph took their number from (sometimes depends if they include Pre-U or not). https://www.highgateschool.org.uk/news/a-level-results-2023/
Same as KCS not sure on 82.3%, telegraph data is based on ISC
https://www.isc.co.uk/research/exam-results/exam-results-2023/
It is comparable across different schools
HBS A* grades at 35%. 75% were A* or A and 91% were grades A*-B.
How come Brampton manor is not on the list . Not right
that is because they do not actually publish the data required to be included in this ranking. They do publish plenty of individual success stories and overall government mandated performance data but not the % of all entries graded A* oe A*-A
Hampton School has released their A Level results
I can only see the information that 90% received grade A*-B, have you seen the % of A* or A*-A for Hampton School?
Yes, that’s what I saw.
Godolphin and Latymer released their results.
Hi, what about City of London Boys? thnaks.
City have not published their results yet unfortunately. They have only said that 95% of grades are at A*-B so I assume they will end up being ranked at Alleyn’s / Latymer Upper level this year.
Godolphin and Latymer released their results.
michaela sixth form a level result 2023 is taken offline subject to correction probably
This great! Thanks! CLC, Emanuel, Marlborough, Charterhouse have published results
Emanuel is now included.
Think better to list A-A*% and show the ranking based on that instead of A* we know boys has higher % than girls for A* due to subject bias
