A negative progress score doesn't mean students haven't improved or that the school has failed.

It just means that students at the school made less progress compared to other students in England who had similar results at the end of their education.

A positive score means students at the school made more progress, while a negative score means they made less progress than other students with similar starting points.

A-level grades in the UK range from A (the highest) to E (the minimum pass), with U meaning ungraded.

An A* represents exceptional performance, while grades A to E are considered passes and can count towards university entry, apprenticeships, or employment.

Each grade is awarded based on a student’s overall marks from exams and, in some subjects, coursework.

For many students, results day determines whether they have met the conditions of their university offers through UCAS.

Those who achieve the required grades will have their places confirmed, while others may use the UCAS Clearing process to find alternative courses.
