The annual performance tables for schools published on these pages are drawn from official data collected and supplied by the Department for Education and Skills.

They show how all schools and sixth form colleges in England performed in the 2006 examination cycle, except for special schools which are omitted because they are assessed on different criteria.

The publication of the school by school data is consistently opposed by the teacher unions which say it gives a misleading picture of how well pupils are taught but the Government has refused to bow to pressure to return to the secret garden of education of which was a feature of the 1960s and 70s.

While it is true that statistics do not tell the full story, and that they can be manipulated, there is no doubt that the information in these tables is extremely valuable for parents seeking to evaluate schools as long as it is considered alongside other material, such as Ofsted reports, admission criteria and local knowledge about the area that they serve.
