Confused over league tables
Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2012 6:51 pm
I was just looking at league tables and got a bit confused.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-16729387" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; this shows the top 200 schools ranked in order of the Average Point score and when you press on the info tab on this it says 'Average point score
The average number of points netted per pupil at the institution taking AS/A-level or equivalent qualifications'
If you then do a search by Education Authority and look at the same column (A/AS points
The average number of points netted per pupil at the institution taking AS/A-level or equivalent qualifications), they have different figures.
Can someone please explain where the different figures come from.
It's been a long day at work and I'm probably missing something simple.
