Francis Holland School, Sloane Square
Most schools have published their results by now, although some results are preliminary, but we are releasing the top 80 London secondary schools based on % of A* grades at GCSE already. It looks like the new tougher GCSE have benefitted the most academic schools in the country, as many of them report record results.
The top five schools are unlikely to change, but we will add further schools as more detailed results are released. St Paul’s Girls’ School takes the top spot again this week, following its top spot in the A-Level rankings last week. Only 732 pupils in the whole country managed a “clean sweep” of ten or more A* grades, but there were 77 such pupils are North London Collegiate School, 59 at the Westminster School, and 39 at the Latymer Upper School.
Despite the fact that the top spots are taken by the usual suspects, a few schools have done especially well this year. The Hampton School and Highgate have edged up in the rankings for GCSEs and A-Levels, and many GDST schools have had fantastic results, too! Follow this post for further updates. St Paul’s School will not release their results until November, but they have issued a press release that their percentage of A*’s and A*-A’s were highest in three years, from which we were able to estimate the school’s position.
