A levels...short thread

If anyone doubts who the winners are this year, here's a random selection of independent schools and the % of A*-A grades this year.

2019 figures follow in brackets.

Mayfield Girls' 66% (55%)
Sherfield School 70% (37%)
Leweston School 51% (37%)
Farlington School 62% (48%)
The Marist School 55% (52%)
Godolphin School 50% (29.2%)
St Mary's Cambridge 54% (51%)
St George's Ascot 63% (35%)
Rye St Anthony 48.1% (18.3%)

A shout out to the dunces at the last school on the list who said its A-A*s had 'gone up 30%' (it's +165%)
This really was a random sample. Every single school has gained. I know there can be variation from one year to the next but according to this sample the babies born from Sep 2001-August 2002 were a fair bit smarter than the previous year's.
But only the privately-educated ones.
Many of these schools' pupils will have been given grades assigned by their teachers and will not have been scrutinised or amended because the class sizes are <5.
http://Gov.uk  is not publishing exam results by school for 2020, making comparisons much more difficult.
Here's a small-cohort school that got results this week on a par with Wycombe Abbey (highest performing girls school in the country).
84% got A*-B this year, last year it was 'more than half'.
