Colleges that add the most value

This page lists schools and colleges in England with the top 5% Level 3 "contextual value added" scores in 2008.

The measure compares students' exam results with the average attainment of other similar students nationally.

It is based around 1000. The top 5% had a score of 1033.1 and above.

The ranking needs treating with care: small differences may not be significant.

We have included information on the type of schools and a column showing their points per student. Institutions that have now closed are marked X.

Smaller schools, with fewer than 30 students taking the exams, are not ranked.
