School Comparison Guide
Compare secondary schools in England
Compare GCSE outcomes, progress and inspection context in one workflow.
Overview
This guide helps you compare secondary schools in England without relying on a single headline rank.
SchoolHub combines outcomes, progress and school profile context so shortlisting is faster and more consistent.
What MySchoolHub data includes
MySchoolHub is built around a broader schema than a simple league table. School profiles combine core school metadata with GCSE and KS2 performance, Ofsted inspection history, sixth form outcomes and map-ready location fields.
The backend also supports absence rates, suspensions and permanent exclusions, KS4 destination measures, subject-level GCSE grade distributions, subgroup breakdowns for filtered KS4 performance, and admissions or fee information for specialist entry pages.
That means these comparison pages can target real parent questions like how to compare Progress 8, English and maths, reading and maths scaled scores, destination outcomes, or Ofsted and admissions context in the same research journey.
Secondary comparison workflow
Filter school search to secondary phase and shortlist schools using Attainment 8 and Progress 8 as starting points.
Then compare shortlisted schools side by side on GCSE and inspection context before making final decisions.
