The government has released provisional results for GCSE exams pupils sat this summer.
It is the first time the Department for Education has published these figures in October, in order to give parents more information about high schools before the October 31 deadline for Year 7 applications.
Today's figures do not reflect the results of exam appeals and re-marks, and a number of local headteachers said their schools' correct headline figures were better than those published by the government.
This newspaper has included these more recent figures, in addition to the government's figures, where they are known.
Final league tables are due to be published in January.
