The Department for Education (DfE) has revealed the Greenwich schools where students are performing best in exams.

The data shows the percentage of students who are achieving above a Grade 5 in English and Maths.

A Grade 5 is roughly equivalent to a high C or low B under the old grading system.

This data helps identify schools where students performed better than the national average.

Below, we’ve listed Greenwich secondary schools and the percentage of students who achieved above a Grade 5 in English and Maths.

Independent and special schools are not included.

A school's percentage doesn’t always reflect its overall quality, as factors like selectivity, student numbers, and intake ability can all have an impact.

For example, selective grammar schools will always rank higher as students are admitted based on academic ability.

This means they are already high achievers, which can lead to better results.

In contrast, non-selective schools have students with a wider range of abilities, which can affect their progress scores differently.

Overall, schools in Greenwich were above the national average on the percentage of young people achieving higher than a Grade 5 in Maths and English.

The national average of state-funded schools is 45.2 per cent and in Greenwich that figure is 46.1 per cent.
