Secondary schools in England ranked by core subjects score
Ranked by core subjects score (officially ebacc average point score) for 2024/25, highest first. Average grade across English, maths, science, a language and history or geography. This is one measure on its own, not the School Chooser Score. It doesn't allow for the mix of pupils or the size of the year group, so small differences don't mean much. 100 schools listed.
