Independent school data note
Independent schools often sit IGCSEs, which DfE performance tables don't count. Because the resulting Attainment 8 / Progress 8 / EBacc figures systematically understate actual results, they are not shown for independent schools. A-Level and destination data is unaffected and shown below.
