Worcestershire Secondary Schools League Tables:
Key:
a. The number of pupils eligible for GCSE and equivalent qualifications.
This is defined as the number of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4, which usually means all pupils in Year 11.
b. The proportion of candidates getting five A* to C-grades at GCSE or equivalent including English and maths.
c. The rank within its local authority which the school achieved according to the proportion of pupils getting five Cs at GCSE or equivalent including English and maths. Ties are broken by average GCSE points score per pupil.
d. The average GCSE points score per pupil. GCSEs and qualifications judged to be "equivalent" to GCSEs are assigned points. For example, a GCSE, grade B = 46 points; BTEC Certificate in Applied Science, Distinction = 52. There are too many qualifications now being included to list each one alongside its points score.
e. The percentage of pupils achieving the English Baccalaureate (see notes to Table 5 for explanation).
f. The A-Level points score per student, including other "equivalent"
qualifications.
g. The A-level points score per exam entry, including other "equivalent"
