Tests at 11 in reading, maths and grammar; writing is teacher-assessed. Headline: share of pupils at the expected standard in all three.

Read more: Attainment 8 and Progress 8 - Secondary results
Grade 5 in English and maths, EBacc
GCSEs run 9 (top) to 1; 4 is a standard pass, 5 a strong pass. EBacc: English, maths, sciences, a language, history or geography.

Catchment and last distance offered
Full schools rank by rules: children in care, often siblings, then distance. The last distance offered changes every year: a hint, not a place.
Read more: Catchment and last distance offered - Admissions
Faith criteria
A full faith school may put families of its faith first, often with a form and a reference of worship. Read its own rules.
Read more: Faith criteria - Admissions
Appeals and waiting lists
Refused a place? Join the waiting list and appeal to an independent panel. Infant classes are capped at 30, so those appeals rarely win.
Read more: Appeals and waiting lists - Key dates
Apply in autumn, hear in spring
Secondary: apply by 31 October, offers 1 March. Primary: by 15 January, offers 16 April. One form to your council, three to six choices (six in London).

What a top list means here
One published measure, one phase, London state schools, latest year. A rank says nothing about fit or admissions.
