How to read this
Source: Department for Education, GCSE results by subject for the summer 2025 exams, published in Explore Education Statistics. A school's figure is the share of its entries in the subject that got grade 5 or above (a "strong pass"). Schools with fewer than 20 entries are left out, because one or two pupils would swing the percentage. Independent schools, special schools and alternative provision are left out too; most independent schools sit IGCSEs, which the government doesn't report. Combined science counts as the lower of its two grades.
