A levels

These figures show how students performed in their A levels. They are based on students who entered at least one A level or AS level and completed their studies in summer 2025. For more details, see 16 to 19 Accountability technical guidance (opens in a new tab) .

Number of students from this school or college included in the measure: 65

Progress score

This shows how much progress students made between the end of key stage 4 and the end of their A levels studies, compared to the national average. These scores are also known as 'value added' scores.

What the scores mean

A score:

  • above 0 means students made more progress, on average, than students across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 4.
  • below 0 means students made less progress, on average, than students across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 4.​

A negative score does not mean students made no progress, or that the school or college has failed. It means these students made less progress than other students across England with similar results at the end of key stage 4.

Find out how progress score confidence intervals work

​Confidence intervals show how reliable a progress score is. They show the range that the true score is likely to fall within.

It is difficult to say with certainty how much of the progress scores are down to the school or college (which may have scored higher with a different group of students) and how much is down to the students (for example some may have performed well at any school or college). The confidence intervals reflect this uncertainty. If the confidence intervals for two schools or colleges overlap, then we cannot say for certain that the two progress scores for these schools or colleges are significantly different.​​

Generally speaking, the greater the number of students, the smaller the range of the confidence interval. For smaller schools or colleges, the confidence interval tends to be larger, since fewer students are included, and therefore the score will be more greatly impacted by performance of individual students.​​

How ratings are decided

A school or college is above average if:

  • the progress score is above 0, and
  • the whole confidence interval is above 0

A school or college is below average if:

  • the progress score is below 0, and
  • the whole confidence interval is below 0

​ Read the 16 to 19 accountability measures guidance(opens in a new tab)

Students at this school score -0.25.

This is below average because the score is lower than 0 but greater than or equal to -0.6, and the entire confidence interval is below 0.

The confidence interval is -0.41 to -0.09.

Average progress score in England: -0.03.

Average result

This shows the average grade and points per A levels entry.

We use points to compare different qualifications fairly, even if they have different sizes or grading systems. For example, an A* at A level is worth up to 60 points.

Student retention

Measures on student retention will be available shortly in a future release.

Disadvantaged students

Disadvantaged students are those who attract pupil premium funding at the end of key stage 4.

This includes students who:

  1. have been eligible for free school meals at any time in the last 6 years
  2. are, or have been, in the care of a local authority (including those adopted from care)

Compare the average progress of disadvantaged students at this school or college, with disadvantaged students at state‑funded schools and colleges locally and across England.

Student’s best 3 A-levels

The student’s 'best 3 A levels' score is calculated by:

  1. Adding together the points from a student’s best 3 A levels.
  2. Dividing that total by 3.
  3. Calculating the average across all eligible students at the school or college.

We also show this as a grade.
