Secondary schools in England

Secondary school comparison usually starts with GCSE performance, but the strongest shortlist combines attainment, progress and inspection context.

MySchoolHub links search, rankings, profiles and comparison so parents can move through that workflow without rebuilding the data manually.

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.

Attainment 8 shows average GCSE attainment, while Progress 8 shows progress relative to pupils with similar prior attainment.

English and maths grade 5+, EBacc entry, sixth-form outcomes and Ofsted fields add important context.

Use rankings to identify potential options, then open school profiles to review trend and profile detail.

Use side-by-side comparison for the final shortlist so you can see where schools differ clearly.
