How the table is worked out
Ranked on 2026 GCSE results: Attainment 8, the average grade across eight GCSEs. One year and one figure: each school's place among Reading's secondaries with a published figure that year; the share with grade 5 or above in English and maths breaks a tie. Schools on the same figures share a place. A school whose figure DfE hides (a small year group) or does not publish is not ranked, never put last. Source: DfE school performance tables.
