These figures tell you how much progress students who studied A levels at each school or college made between the end of key stage 4 and the end of their A level studies, compared to similar students across England, based on predicted progress. These scores are also known as 'value added' scores.

The scores are calculated by comparing the A-level results of students at this school or college with the A level results of students in schools and colleges across England who started with similar results at the end of the previous key stage – key stage 4.

A score above zero means students made more progress, on average, than students across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 4.

A score below zero means students made less progress, on average, than students across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 4.

A negative progress score does not mean students made no progress, or the school or college has failed, rather it means students in this school or college made less progress than other students across England with similar results at the end of key stage 4.

Take a look at the 17 Liverpool schools and colleges with the highest A Level progress scores below. Please note, schools with the highest progress scores did not necessarily have the highest average grade achievement. Some schools listed only offer A Level exams, while others offer alternatives such as BTECs, which may impact scores.
