The UK independent schools are highly respected in the world, and attract more than 50,000 international pupils from around the world every year according to statistics of UK Independent School Council in 2017. These public schools adopt academically challenging curriculum, enriched by outstanding range of activities, aiming at high academic quality, prestigious status as well as shaping characters of students’ individuality.
A study by Sutton Trust educational charity on the educational backgrounds of nearly 8,000 elite people reveal that 80% of those who hold key positions in British society received privileged private education in the UK, despite only about 7% of the UK children being educated at private schools. Ten leading independent schools accounted for 12% of the leading people. These schools are: Eton College; Winchester College; Charterhouse School; Rugby School; Westminster School; Marlborough College; Dulwich College; Harrow School; St Paul’s Boys’ School; Wellington College.
Though A-level results offer an indicative guide to schools performance, many top independent schools do not participate in annual A-level school league tables, because they think the league table culture encourages the tendency to focus on statistics rather than education. St Paul’s Boys’ School, for example, believe that raw statistics are not an accurate guide to the quality of education available in a school. Therefore, they did not release their results for the compilation of league tables since 2008, though they were good. On average, 53.8% of their students achieved A* in the past three years A-level exams, and 88.9% scored A*/A for the past five years.
The following GCSE and A-level league tables list the top 300 UK independent schools based on the Exam Results 2017 published by UK Independent School Council.
