Do the rankings cover every grammar school in England?

Yes. The table ranks all 163 state-funded grammar schools in England, with each school's national GCSE (Attainment 8) and A-level rank shown against all state-funded schools, straight from the Department for Education performance tables.

What does the national rank mean?

The GCSE and A-level rank columns show each school’s position against all state-funded secondary schools in England (not just grammar schools), so a rank of "27 / 4,736" means the school placed 27th out of 4,736 nationally on that measure.

National league table

Grammar school rankings, your way.

Q: How are the grammar school rankings calculated?

The headline Score is a 0–100 figure blended from the most recent published GCSE results: Attainment 8 (70%), the share achieving grade 5+ in English and Maths (20%) and EBacc average point score (10%). Each measure is scaled across all ranked schools and the blend is rescaled so the top school scores 100. You can also re-rank the table by A-level results, university destinations or Ofsted.

Every grammar school we cover, ranked on the measures that matter — and sortable by any of them. Click a column to re-rank by GCSE, A-level, university destinations or Ofsted, then tick up to four schools to compare them side by side.

How the ranking works

The Score column is a single 0–100 figure blended from the most recent published GCSE results: Attainment 8 (70%), the share achieving grade 5+ in English & Maths (20%), and EBacc average point score (10%). Each measure is scaled across all ranked schools and the blend is rescaled so the top school scores 100.

The GCSE rank and A-level rank columns show each school's position against all state-funded schools nationally (not just grammars), straight from the Department for Education tables. Top-third uni % is the share of leavers going to a top-third university; Demand is applications divided by offers for the latest cycle. A dash (—) means the source has not published that figure. Always check a school's own admissions policy before applying.
