How the tables were compiled

KS3 results were supplied by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority's (QCA) Data Collection Agency (DCA) and checked with schools.

KS3 results and VA measures were checked or provided by schools in early October. Some reviews requested by schools of grades awarded to pupils were not completed in time to affect the information included in these tables. It is, therefore possible that, for some schools, the published information would have been different had the results of the reviews been available earlier. If you have an interest in a particular school's results, you should check with the school.

Background information, such as the school name and address, was provided and checked by schools.

If the school did not confirm that it had checked its test results the initial `E' appears after its age range. If the school did not confirm that it had checked its background information, the initial `B' appears after its age range. If both `E' and `B' are present, the school did not confirm that it had checked either.
