A-levels: Best-performing sixth-form colleges

The Independent's league tables of A-level results

The score is calculated by awarding 120 points for an A grade, 100 for a B, 80 for a C, 60 for a D, and 40 for an E. AS levels not pursued to a full A-level are also included and awarded half the A-level points. General Studies A-level is also included. The total number of points is then divided by the number of pupils who sat the exam, to give the final score.
