LEAGUE TABLES
In the official Government statistics for schools, published every January, the 'points per pupil' measure which is used for GCSE and Advanced Level is misleading, particularly for academic independent schools, because the figure can be raised by non-academic qualifications, by General Studies or Critical Thinking examinations and by multiple entries. Norwich School gives priority to quality rather than quantity. We focus on academic subjects which provide appropriate preparation for competitive university courses.
‘Points per entry’ is a better measure of quality because it concentrates on how well pupils did in each examination which they took. Many Norwich School pupils aspire to competitive courses and universities; consequently, they receive university offers which specify only three grades at A2 Level and the school is comfortable that its curriculum prepares pupils well for this process.
The league tables produced by newspapers at the end of August are generally agreed to provide a more helpful indication of academic schools’ public examination performance than the Government tables because they are ranked according to the proportion of top grades achieved in the examinations taken. IGCSE is included, while General Studies and non-academic subjects tend to be excluded at A Level. Measured by the A*/A/B grade percentage at A level, Norwich School is the highest achieving school in Norfolk and Suffolk.
