How are the grammar school rankings calculated?

The headline Score is a 0–100 figure blending one measure from each of four families: Attainment 8 (41%), A-level average points (41%), the share of leavers reaching a top-third university (12%) and Ofsted (6%). 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.

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.

How the ranking works

The Score column is a single 0–100 figure generated from the measures selected above. 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.
