I've noticed an increasing number of defensive posts, some with personal digs or conjecture about my personal circumstances and reasoning, that lack any reference to actual data.
Just to be clear: if a comment doesn’t contribute constructively to the discussion or engage with the data, I won’t be responding.
It might be worth taking a step back and considering the wider audience reading this thread, such as prospective parents. Or people like me who are simply curious and like to look at real numbers and not go by polished collateral, hearsay, thoughts or feelings.
The tone and content of your replies might shape how they perceive those with actual links to the area or school.
With that in mind, I’m going to step away from this thread for a couple of weeks and may return around GCSE results day to pick things up again.
In the meantime, I’m also interested in the recent exam results from Royal High School and Brighton College and plan to start similar threads on those. For the data-minded among us, I’d love to hear if any other schools are worth a look.
Enjoy the sun everyone!
