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.
- Source: Department for Education, Key stage 4 performance (school-level data). Council figures are our pupil-weighted calculation over state-funded mainstream schools; independent schools are not included.
