Secondary schools in Dorset

This page shows schools in this area ranked on the basis of their Level 2 "contextual value added" measure, from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4.

This compares pupils' exam performances with the middle performance of other pupils nationally who had similar prior attainment.

It is based around 1000. The top 5% had a score of 1030.4 and above.

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

Smaller schools with fewer than 30 pupils taking the exams are not ranked, while results are not published at all for those with fewer than 11 pupils.
