Left to right, after the name and type of school, the columns show:
TYPE: The type of school – CY=Community, FD=Foundation, VA=Voluntary Aided, VC=Voluntary Controlled.
A: The number of pupils eligible for GCSE and equivalent

Key Stage 4, which usually means all pupils in Year 11.
B: The proportion of candidates getting five A* to C-grades at GCSE or
equivalent including English and maths.
C: The rank within its local authority which the school achieved
according to the proportion of pupils getting five Cs in GCSE subjects
including English and maths column 'b'). Ties are broken by average
GCSE points score.
D: The average GCSE points score per pupil. GCSEs and qualifications
judged to be ``equivalent'' to GCSEs are assigned points.
:: As examples, the Government has listed the following: GCSE, grade B
_ 46 points; Intermediate GNVQ, merit _ 196 points; Certification in
Modern Foreign Languages, entry level, grade 3 _ 14 points; National
Certificate in Business, merit _ 196 points.
There are too many qualifications now being included to list each one
alongside its points score.
E: The school's Key Stage 2 (age 11) to GCSE contextual value-added
score (see notes to Table 5 for explanation)
F: The A-Level points score per candidate, including other
``equivalent'' qualifications.

to its A-Level points score per candidate.
Ties are broken by the average number of points scored per exam entry

H: The percentage of half-days missed due to unauthorised absence
(truancy).
I: The rank within its local authority the school achieved according
to its truancy rate, with the worst performing school at the top.
Ties broken by number of pupils aged 15 (figure not shown).
NOTE: Care should be taken when comparing results for schools with
small numbers of pupils eligible for the exams.
