HOW THE TABLES WERE COMPILED

KS3 results were supplied by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority's (QCA) National Assessment Agency (NAA) and checked with schools.

KS3 results and VA measures were provided to schools for checking in early January. Some schools may not have checked their data, therefore, if you have an interest in a particular school's results, you should check with the school.

Background information, such as the school name and address, was provided and checked by schools.

If the school did not confirm that it had checked its test results and/or background information, the letters 'R' or 'B' (or both) appear after its age range.
