A = Rank number
B = FT Rank
C = School Name
D = FT score
E = Points per core entry
F = Points per candidate (core exams)
G = Points per candidate (all exams)
H = % A grade per entry (core subjects)
I = Number of A and B grades per candidate (core subjects)
J = % candidates at least AAB (core subjects)
K = % candidatess at least A*AB (core subjects)
Following a post by somebody else I found this on the FT website and found it very interested, I was very surprised at the data especially column H (% A-grade) that varied from 16% to 78%. Also the last column (A*AB) varies dramatically from 2% to 47%, as I see school as a stepping stone to higher education the figures have only made my decision making even more confusing, seems the more I find out the more confusing the decision making is getting.
Fortunately now in a position to be able to consider CHG or FW and now probably in an even more confused state, slowly favouring CHG only because at the higher end of the grade (col:k) they seem to do slightly better, is this a fair assumption. I.e. is there anything I need to be aware of that has not been reflected in the table.
Sorry dont mean to offend but I naively thought that the private schools would come slightly lower as entrance was based on a mix of academic and financial conditions, whereas free grammars selected soley on academic abilities, surely that would mean the free grammars should be ranked higher than they are being shown at the moment, or am i missing something?
