How we work this out

What it does

All 7 of Gloucestershire's state grammar schools, ranked by their published GCSE results. Pick a boy or a girl to see the schools they could join.

The 7 state grammar schools in Gloucestershire, with the Department for Education's final GCSE (key stage 4) results for 2022/23 to 2024/25.

Method

  1. Attainment 8 is a pupil's average across eight GCSEs, with English and maths counted twice; the school figure is the average of its pupils.
  2. Grade 5+ in English and maths is the share of pupils with a grade 5 or above in both. Many grammar schools are at or near 100%, so ties are ranked equal and ordered by Attainment 8.
  3. Progress 8 compares pupils' GCSEs with others who had the same Year 6 SATs. The DfE did not publish it for 2024/25, so that ranking uses 2023/24.
