School League Tables

This table lists the 200 schools in England with the highest attainment at A-level, AS-level and other Key Stage 5 (16-18) qualifications.

Schools marked IND are independent, those marked SEL select their pupils on the basis of academic activity. Schools marked AC are academies. Schools with fewer than 30 pupils in the relevant year group are not included.
