Results for pupils at the end of KS4 came from the awarding bodies concerned, and were also checked with schools. The schools themselves provided results on graded exams.

Results were checked or provided by schools in early October. Some reviews requested by schools of grades awarded to pupils were not completed in time to affect the information included in these Tables. It is therefore possible that, for some schools, the published information would have been different had the results of the reviews been available earlier. If you have an interest in a particular school's results, you should check with the school.

Information about contextual factors used in the CVA measure, overall and persistent pupil's absence and background information (such as the school name and address) was provided and checked by schools.

If the school did not confirm that it had checked its examination results, the initial 'R' appears after its age range. If the school did not confirm that it had checked its background information, the initial 'B' appears after its age range. If both 'R' and 'B' are present, the school did not confirm that it had checked either.

Schools that have closed during or after the end of the 2007/08 school year are included in the Tables and are identified in their entry by the initial "X".
