Schools with the most pupils on roll. Only schools eligible for the Success Index (England) are included; the index is shown alongside for context.
Are these 2025 rankings official?
No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official English data (DfE – Get Information About Schools; DfE – Compare school and college performance). Independent schools rarely appear in the performance tables, so most receive no attainment components and no score.
