The same after they've adjusted them for all sorts (e.g. parental income) - but who is actually going to do that?

Private schools get better results- end of.

From what I see in my town this is simply not true. You can go to each school website and see their GCSE and A'Level results and they are far below both private/independent schools here. I'm not sure how they can come to the conclusion but I'd love to see the national figures when the government finally release them.

It's out of date already.

It was based upon results from Summer 2017.

There have been quite a few things happening to schools since then. And the entire world.
