Which subjects would you be looking at ?

Also remember a high achiever would get a high average wherever they were :? if they didn't then they wouldn't be a high achiever.

seriously there isn't much data on gcse scores by schools - all 3 do well according to the data here https://www.compare-school-performance. ... =secondary" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I don't think going to any particular one of those schools would make a blind bit of difference to an individual's GCSE results. One or another may have slightly higher average grades in various subjects but for an individual it will make little or no difference.
In addition, it probably has little relevance to 5 year's time. Teachers change, exams change, pandemics come along.

sorry but this question is meaningless.

how on earth would knowing the answer influence your choice of school? if one child drops a grade because they had a cold and that nudges the average results down how does that impact on what your child does at the school 6 years later?

Think about whether the school suits your child’s personality and skillset.
if they are happy and supported they will achieve.

Don’t overthink the statistics.
