England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
Exam results

|---|---|
| Reaching the expected standard in reading, writing & maths | 86% |
| Reaching the higher standard | 14% |
“Not published (small cohort)” means the DfE suppressed the figure to protect small cohorts — it is not a zero.

First-choice demand varies year to year, and the school’s admission criteria — not demand — decide who is offered a place. Use this as a rough signal, never a prediction.
