Progress 8 is not calculated for independent schools — it needs an end-of-primary baseline the Department for Education does not hold for their pupils — so only the raw grade average appears above.
Attainment 8 is the average grade pupils leave with across eight GCSEs; it tells you where they ended up, and tracks the intake a school admits as much as anything the school does. Progress 8 compares those grades with pupils nationally who had the same results at the end of primary school, so it is the better measure of what a school added.

Many independent schools enter pupils for IGCSEs, which the Department for Education leaves out of its performance measures. Any figures above therefore count only part of what pupils sat, and can understate a school severely — a cohort taking mostly IGCSEs can show a grade-average near zero. Independent school results are best asked for from the school itself.
Not applicable — independent schools and city technology colleges admit directly rather than through the council's coordinated scheme, so the national application figures say nothing about how sought-after they are.
Not published — the Department for Education's absence statistics cover state-funded schools, so there are no figures for this one.
Not inspected, or no grade in the published data
Around half of schools currently have no grade here — usually recently opened schools, or academies whose last full inspection was under a predecessor URN.
The GCSE results here are for 2023–24 and earlier, which describes pupils who have already left. Nothing on this page covers where pupils go next, A-level or sixth-form results, pastoral care, how far a school pushes music, sport or drama, or how it feels to walk around — and those are the things parents most often say settled it. Visit at an open evening before you rank a school.
Nor is any of it a prediction of a place. Whether your child is offered one depends on the school's admission criteria and, most often, on how far you live from the gate.
