Under each rank: the change since the 2022 table, in places gained (+) or lost (−). No figure means the rank is unchanged or the school had no ranked 2022 result.
Independent schools in West Midlands with published 2023 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.
