Schools where GCSE Boys achievement is better than girls

[OdinsLoveChild]

Ive been having a very loud conversation argument about boys achieving better GCSE's than girls in some state schools.

I have been told that there are no state high schools anywhere in the UK where boys do better than girls, I think there must be somewhere but I cant find any with my quick google search.

Can someone point me in the right direction I don't want to be proved wrong ? Some high school boys must do equally as well or better than girls surely? I'm not on about the odd boy here and there I mean the entire GCSE year that overwhelmingly has boys getting better overall GCSE grades than girls.

The following schools have not put the 2016 GCSE results on their websites yet. However, if the information in the Telegraph is correct (comprehensive schools table: www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2016/08/26/gcse-results-2016-state-school-results/) , the boys school outperformed the girls school.

These schools are located a mile from each other. They are both partially selective. The majority of places go to silbings including cross siblings at either of these school:

Watford Grammar School for Boys: 91% A-C incl. Maths & English (position 7 in the Telegraph table)

Watford Grammar School for Girls: 83.89% A-C incl. Maths & English (position 35 in the Telegraph table)

Previous link doesn't seem to have worked.

Not since they introduced the national curriculum. Even before then boys didn't do as well if girls were allowed to do the same subjects.

What you should really be bothered about is that girls' outperform boys at all levels yet they end up being paid less.

Our local girls' grammar has whupped the boys' grammar at GCSEs for the last 15 years in a row.

Interestingly, the boys' grammar only selects those with the highest pass (plenty of boys pass the 11+ but don't get in).

Whereas, at the girls' grammar you are virtually guaranteed a place with just a basic pass.

Habs boys beat Habs girls according to the telegraph this year.

Based on the 2015 Gov data, there are about 380 non-selective, mixed, State schools where boys do better than girls.
By better, the measure used is the % getting 5 A*-C GCSEs.
The school with the biggest difference is Cape Cornwal School (Boys 74%, Girls 41%), and there is roughly a 50/50 gender split at the school.

St John's in Marlborough, according to the local press anyway. It's a non-selective mixed school. www.marlboroughnewsonline.co.uk/news/all-the-news/5949-st-john-s-bucks-national-trend-as-boys-outperform-girls-in-record-breaking-gcses

Edielou2, the article text makes no mention of the %'s involved for each gender, shoddy journalism!
In 2015, the boys got 55% and girls 73%, so they'd have to go some to turn that around (and there were 269 in the year, so the turnaround, if there was one, couldn't be put down to a very low number in the year, i.e. a year of brighter boys).
