Reading these figures

Attainment 8 is out of 90: a pupil’s grades in eight GCSE slots added up, with English and maths counted twice.
There is no Progress 8 this year (these pupils sat no KS2 SATs), so results partly reflect each school’s intake.
These are provisional figures; revised ones with re-marks follow in early 2027.
