Top Schools and Sixth Forms in England by A-Level Results: 2025

Schools ranked by the average points per A-level entry, which is also shown as a grade, using 2025 results published by the Department for Education. Click a school to see its Ofsted rating, results over time, catchment area and admissions.

A-level results: Only schools and colleges with published A-level (and other academic) results are included. Independent schools often take other qualifications, such as the International Baccalaureate or Pre-U, which aren't counted here. Sixth forms with few students can move up and down the table from year to year.

Top 100 Schools for A-Levels, 2025

Showing 100 of 2,547 ranked schools. Schools with identical results share a rank. Ties are otherwise broken by the percentage reaching the higher standard (primary), Progress 8 (secondary) or the share of AAB grades (A-level).

About these league tables

A league table only tells part of the story. Results depend on a school's intake as well as its teaching, and a single year's figures can be volatile, particularly for small schools. Special schools are excluded. Ofsted grades are the most recent published inspection, which may be several years old. Use these tables alongside a school's full page, and visit before deciding. You can also browse schools by town or explore the map.
