THE best and worst performing secondary schools have been revealed based on this summer's GCSE exams.

The government has released its provisional 'league tables' showing how well individual schools performed based on a number of measures.

The tables released by the Department for Education are not as detailed as the full secondary performance tables, which are issued in January.

But provisional results are issued to give parents an indication of individual schools perform as they choose a high school for their child.

What is progress 8? 

Progress 8 scores shows pupils' improvement (or decline) since starting secondary school,  based on results in up to eight qualifications.

It is sometimes seen as a fairer measure - particularly for schools in disadvantaged areas - as it accounts for pupils' starting points.

A score above zero means pupils made more progress, on average, than pupils across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 2.

A score below zero means pupils made less progress, on average, than pupils across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 2.

Progress 8 is not a relevant measure for schools that do not cover all five years of Key Stage 3 and 4, such as university technical colleges and studio schools.

The table below show the percentage of pupils who achieved 9-5 grades in English and maths – equivalent to A-C under the old grading system.

It also lists the school's Progress 8 score, as well as how many pupils were entered for exams.
