What year are the Lincolnshire school rankings from?

The rankings reflect the most recent published academic year for each metric. KS2 SATs, KS4 GCSEs and KS5 A-Levels are updated annually by the Department for Education (DfE) — typically in December, January and March respectively. The specific year for each metric is shown above the table.

How are schools ranked in Lincolnshire?

By the metric you choose: for KS2 it's the combined Reading, Writing and Maths expected-standard percentage. For KS4 it's Attainment 8 (best 8 GCSE results). For KS5 it's A-Level Average Point Score. Schools tied at the same score share the same rank.

Why are some Lincolnshire schools missing from the league table?

Special schools and Pupil Referral Units are excluded from the mainstream rankings because their pupils don't sit standard assessments — their data is on the individual school profile pages. Closed schools and schools without published results for the selected key stage are also excluded. Schools in North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire, which are separate councils, are in the North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire league tables.

Where does the Lincolnshire performance data come from?

All performance data is sourced from the Department for Education (DfE). Inspection grades come from Ofsted (England), ETI (Northern Ireland), Estyn (Wales) and HM Inspectorate of Education (Scotland).

How recent is the Lincolnshire performance data?

Data is the most recent published by DfE. KS2 and KS4 typically update each December/January for the prior summer's cohort; KS5 updates in March.
