Grammar Schools Dominate GCSE League Tables
Grammar schools are back at the top of GCSE league tables after the Progress 8 performance measure was paused for two years due to Covid SATs cancellations.
Progress 8, which measures progress between the end of primary school and GCSEs, cannot be calculated this year and next because SATs were cancelled during the pandemic.
- The government's performance website now defaults to ranking schools by Attainment 8, scoring pupils across eight subjects, including English and maths.
- Last year, 15 of the top 50 highest P8 scores were grammar schools.
- This year, all but one of the top 50 schools are selective intake schools, with high-performing pupils on entry.
Michaela Community School, in west London, is the only state school in the top 50 this year, coming 47th, usually topping the Progress 8 league tables.
Author's summary: Grammar schools dominate GCSE league tables again.
