Frequently asked questions

We like facts. We use data sourced from the private and state schools we feature, the Independent Schools Council and the UK Department for Education

With the extraordinary circumstances of 2020 and 2021, all schools were asked to make their best professional assessment of the grades they believe that students would have been most likely to secure if teaching, learning and public exams had proceeded as normal.
This was a process that has never been attempted before and, for that reason, a number of schools, included some of the best private schools in London, decided not to publish their GSCE's / A-Levels Exams Results. The data also showed that some other schools had significant improvements in their exams results throughout that period, which may distort the overall picture.
Therefore, we decided it was best to refer back to 2019 data, when life was more "normal", and are looking forward to seeing the 2022 exam results.
