On Thursday (August 21) thousands of students across the country will discover how they performed in their GCSEs, taken earlier this summer.
The DfE will use the results to update school ratings, reflecting student progress and attainment.
Each school is given a score showing how well students perform compared with national expectations at Key Stage 4.
The data highlights schools where students have exceeded the national average in progress.
Below is a list of secondary schools in Sutton and their current scores.

A school’s progress category or percentage doesn’t always reflect its overall quality, as factors like selectivity, student numbers, and intake ability can all have an impact.
For example, if one school has more pupils enrolled than others then it’s possible that less people passed than one with a smaller cohort, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the school is performing poorly overall.
The progress scores take this into account by measuring individual student improvement, providing a clearer picture of how well a school is helping its pupils reach their potential.
GCSE grades in the UK range from 9 (the highest) to 1, with U meaning ungraded.
A grade 9 represents exceptional performance, while grades 4 to 9 are considered passes and can influence future education or employment opportunities.
Each grade is awarded based on a student’s overall marks from exams and, in some subjects, coursework.
For many students, Results Day determines their next steps in education.
Those who achieve the grades they need may move on to sixth form, college, or apprenticeships, while others may consider resits or alternative courses to meet their goals.
