The schools, ranked

Ordered on the three-year average Progress 8, which is steadier than any single year. Read the confidence interval beside each score before you read the order: it is the range the school's true figure is likely to sit in, and a wide one means a small year group rather than an unpredictable school.

Progress 8 and Attainment 8 are three-year averages (2021–22 to 2023–24). Admissions pressure is first preferences per place for 2026 entry. The Ofsted column mixes three regimes — a legacy overall grade, a 2025 report-card achievement grade, and the outcome of an ungraded inspection — which are not the same judgement; each school's own page says which it has.

Too few schools here publish a confidence interval to say how much of this ordering is real. Treat small differences between schools with care.

Admissions do not stop at an authority line. If you live near one, your realistic list of schools spans both sides of it.

What this page doesn't tell you

The results here are for 2023–24 and earlier, so they describe pupils who have already left. Nothing on this page covers sixth-form results, pastoral care, music, sport or drama, or how a school feels to walk around — which is what parents most often say settled it. The ranking is a starting point for a shortlist, not a verdict on a school.

Nor is it a prediction of a place. Admission depends on each school's criteria and, most often, on how far you live from it — and in Isles Of Scilly you apply for a state-funded place through the council's coordinated scheme, naming several schools in order of preference.
