GCSE results - will the results be published by school?

I feel like my son's GCSE results were very fair. He got what he was predicted to get which was also what he got in his mocks. There was one subject where he went down a grade on his predicted and mock result for no apparent reason. His class mates were the same, all felt that it was fair if slightly harsh. We were happy on the day but more annoyed as we started to hear about how inflated the results have been. I also keep.bumping into parents from other schools in town and hearing about all the 9s.
Im just wondering if the results will ever come out in public? I would like to be able to compare the schools in our town and see how many 9s per subject were handed out? Not that we can do anything about it, and I know it will all come out in the wash at A-levels, I'm just interested.

I feel exactly the same. My dd did really well and were reasonably in line with what she expected although a couple were lower than mocks. So fair if maybe a little harsh. I’ve bumped into 4 different parents since Thursday and all dropping into conversation how their dd’s got 9’s. I am very surprised. Only 1 of the 4 is a high achieving grammar student the rest are at high school. I thought 9’s were absolute exceptions and very few would be awarded each year.

The government have said they won't publish any school or college level educational performance data based on tests, assessments or exams for 2020

They'll be published idc - probably once we're sure that these grades will stick IYSWIM
