Government’s Performance Measures Website
You can compare schools using the government’s School and College Performance Measures website.
Queensmead’s performance data can be found here.
However, given the uneven impact of the pandemic on school and college performance data, the government has said you should not make direct comparisons between the performance data for one school or college and another, or to data from previous years.
