Under each rank: the change since the 2024 table, in places gained (+) or lost (−). No figure means the rank is unchanged or the school had no ranked 2024 result.
Independent schools in Birmingham with published 2025 GCSE results
Listed as published, not ranked. The DfE tables count only reformed GCSEs, so a school whose pupils sit IGCSE, Pre-U or the IB reports a lower figure than its results merit, or none at all. Compare independent schools on their own published examination results and inspection reports.
