A-level results

#387 of 438 London sixth forms, state and independent, 2024/25

Independent and selective (grammar) schools choose their pupils, so high results partly reflect who gets in, not only teaching. Some independent schools don't publish results.

Strengths

  • “Leaders encourage pupils to do their best at this school.”
  • “Leaders encourage pupils to adopt the school’s values and contribute to the school community.”
  • “These values include helping others, being respectful and valuing individual differences.”

To improve

  • “In a few subjects, teaching does not accurately reflect leaders’ ambitious intentions.”
  • “In these subjects, sometimes teaching does not consistently revisit prior learning.”
  • “This means that sometimes pupils do not know and remember all that they should.”
