This page lists schools and colleges in England with the top 5% Level 3 "contextual value added" scores in 2008.
The measure compares students' exam results with the average attainment of other similar students nationally.
It is based around 1000. The top 5% had a score of 1033.1 and above.
The ranking needs treating with care: small differences may not be significant.
We have included information on the type of schools and a column showing their points per student. Institutions that have now closed are marked X.
Smaller schools, with fewer than 30 students taking the exams, are not ranked.
