The government last week released the latest official performance data for sixth form schools and colleges across the country. With this in mind, we have created a league table of the best-performing secondary schools and colleges in Merseyside based on the new results. The latest performance figures refer to the 2023-2024 school year.
They have been ranked by their A Level performance point scores, a unique measurement derived from students’ A Level results that gives them a score out of 60. The overall ‘average grades’ their students achieved across their A Level entries have also been included.
