Under each rank: the change since the 2023 table, in places gained (+) or lost (−). No figure means the rank is unchanged or the school had no ranked 2023 result.
Independent schools in Somerset with published 2024 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.
