League tables for GCSE & A levels 2011

40 replies

MuminBerkshire · 20/10/2011 21:22

Can anyone please help me with where I can find these? I have googled them but it only leads me to newspaper articles rather than the actual tables. I have found an FT table of results but really wanted to see GCSE and A level results separately for schools nationally. I have even subscribed to Times online to try and see Parent power results but can't even manage to get anything here. Please can someone help me with this?
Thank You.

They're not out yet. When they are out, you can see them for free on the BBC News website under the education section.

They'll be out Dec/Jan time.

www.telegraph.co.uk/education/leaguetables/8775031/A-level-results-2011-independent-schools.html

Do remember that certain schools do not submits their results (SP

MuminBerkshire · 20/10/2011 21:41

Hi Noblegiraffe & Blueyonder22,

Is it only independent schools results that are out at the moment? I definitely saw a printed copy of 2011 A level results for independent schools 2011 at a recent open morning (printed from Telegraph in August I think. However, I am unable to find this in the telegraph website.

Also, link that you have given, blueyonder22, only gets me to an article but no tables!

Do you know if Sunday Times still publish parent power list in their papers?

Thanks again.

THe official tables are not out yet
lots of schools submitted their results to the papers when the results came out
but they were both unverified and incomplete

MuminBerkshire · 20/10/2011 21:53

OK thanks Talkinpeace2, that explains it. I hope that Sunday Times still publishes them since it was so easy to get hold off them and search for information. I guess they will be out in December then.

They arent published until January - after all appeals are dead, buried, chewed over and nailed down

blueyonder22 · 20/10/2011 23:16

Hi,
1st link is independent schools and the second one state. I have cut and pasted the first section. As pointed out these will be subject to a little bit of movement but will give you a very good idea. I have to say that I take these tables with a large pinch of salt. Selective schools always outperform with large comps have no gates to keep!

A-level results 2011 school-by-school
Searchable table of A-level results submitted by schools yesterday. A table of independent schools results will be published on 27th August. Types: C- Comprehensive, G - Grammar, PS - Partially selective, SFC - Sixth Form College

TalkinPeace2 · 21/10/2011 14:06

But that list has HUGE gaps in it and we have NO proof that the figures they told the papers are the truth
better to wait for the real tables in the new year

florist · 21/10/2011 20:08

Blueyonder these are not for the ebacc gcses so are not a true reflection of academic performance

bossboggle · 22/10/2011 21:44

The results in our area are published in January so they will be available then I would think for everyone. The E. bacc results are interesting when they come out, our local school is boasting an 86% GCSE pass rate but when their Bacc result was published it was 2% - slight difference!!

noblegiraffe · 23/10/2011 09:35

ebacc results are also not a true reflection of academic performance, merely a narrow definition of academic performance dreamed up by the appalling education minister Michael Gove.

TalkinPeace2 · 23/10/2011 17:59

bossboogle
but in no way does Gove's ebacc make your school a bad school
for example
if they were a school which obeyed the Labour diktat that languages were only compulsory to age 14 (and were in a grammar area therefore devoid of the top 25%) they will get 0% in the ebacc while still possibly giving all of the children an otherwise full and rounded education.
you HAVE to look at the school, not just the tables

jgbmum · 23/10/2011 23:00

Even in areas where there are no grammar schools, pupils can "fail" the EBacc but still get 5+ excellent academic GCSEs.
DS school is a faith school which specialises in sports and technology. All 3 subjects are compulsory at GCSE along with Maths, 2x English and (at least) 2x science.
Because there are so many compulsory subjects the school does not then insist that pupils must take a language, & history / geography. So you can leave without the EBacc but still have a lot of really academic GCSEs.
You really do have to talk to the school to find out their policy. The numbers can be very deceptive.

magdalene · 26/10/2011 23:53

I would say ebacc results are a much better indication of how a school is doing. Go, Michael Gove!

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 27/10/2011 10:31

I hate the EBacc. My DS1 is a whizz at maths, heading for A, good at science, A/A potential and will do 3 sciences, good enough at English, A/B, will do Geography, RE, ICT, Electronics. But he has no gift for languages. If he does French he may get a C, he may not. It will make his results look like he can't be bothered with a subject he doesn't like. Why waste a GCSE on something he may fail rather than getting a good grade at another academic subject?

senua · 27/10/2011 11:06

The EBacc is supposed to show that you are an all-rounder at academic subjects. If your DS doesn't get it then it shows that he has a particular maths/sci bent and not a language one. Which you knew already.
The EBacc is not compulsory and is not supposed to be obtainable by everyone.

The idea that, just because someone in Government has designed a yardstick, then everybody feels that their DC should qualify is what has created grade inflation.

My DC have the EBacc but don't have A* in Maths nor Science. So what? It just means that mine have different skills to yours.

titchy · 27/10/2011 11:15

Just be careful - some of the top universities insist on a language at GCSE.

Fayrazzled · 27/10/2011 11:22

Just how rude is it to sigh at the start of one's post?

senua · 27/10/2011 11:39

Sorry but I get fed up repeating it. EBacc is only supposed to be obtainable by 15% of the population.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 27/10/2011 11:43

Was she sighing at me?

I just don't really want the government dictating to my DS that he must be an all-rounder. He's not. And he may not get into the Russell group universities because of it, which will be their loss.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 27/10/2011 11:45

senua, X post. My DS may find that his school insist he does French as he has the potential to score for them on the EBacc, rather that for his own benefit.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 27/10/2011 11:48

than for his own benefit.

senua · 27/10/2011 11:58

It's not the Government dictating btw - it will be the school. That was the funny thing about the retrospective introduction of EBacc: it showed that schools were not providing a rounded education for their children, they were doing whatever it took to get themselves up the league tables.
It was the same when they introduced the measure of 5 GCSEs: the schools got 'inventive' so the Govt had to change it to 5-GCSEs-inc-Maths-and-English.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 27/10/2011 12:08

If the government brings in a measure like EBacc, do you really think they didn't expect schools to jump on the bandwagon? That's exactly what they wanted. I'm afraid it's the creation of the measure that will affect my DS, I don't blame the school for wanting to be seen to be doing well.
