This table lists the secondary schools in England that fall below the Government's target of 30 per cent of 15-year-old pupils getting at least five GCSEs at C grade, including Maths and English, in 2007

Tuesday, 10 June 2008

In addition to the GCSE results, the table shows each school's "contextual value added" score (CVA), a measure of the progress children have made. Above 1000 is better than average and below 1000 is worse.
