Independent schools publish no DfE attainment, so this ranking rests on the inspection-derived score and compares independents only with each other.
How these rankings work
Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment, scored against schools of the same assessment cohort. Primary rankings rest on Key Stage 2 results, secondary rankings on Key Stage 4 — which is why the two are listed side by side rather than merged into one league table.
Independent schools publish no DfE attainment, so their score is derived from the inspection record alone and they are ranked only against other independent schools. Independents inspected by ISI rather than Ofsted carry no score and cannot appear.
3,590 state schools scored without an attainment cohort — special schools, nurseries, pupil referral units and infant schools — are not ranked here; the Outstanding schools index lists every school holding Ofsted’s top grade regardless of cohort.
