How do I interpret the Top schools’ league tables?
The Northern Ireland school league table rankings are based on the latest exam results.
These are usually the previous independent school year group’s GCSE exam results and A-Level exam results.
Ofsted Reports
What are Ofsted reports?
Plus, how well performance standards have been met across the independent school. There are three possible outcomes: under-achieving; achieving; or outstanding.
Well firstly these are something that you must check for each independent school of interest.
Each Ofsted report is an analysis of that school’s teachers’ professional competence.
