A-level results

#69 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.

To improve

  • “The school’s high expectations for pupils’ behaviour are not consistently applied.”
