How Schools Are Ranked in Bolton

Ranking schools fairly and properly is an extremely difficult thing to achieve. Ofsted inspections do not always draw the full picture and sometimes are not even that frequent or may have old data.

What is important is how the pupils are performing in the exams. This is ultimately showing how good the school is and it's the only objective and fair evidence of the level and the quality of education a school gives.

That's why the following table has this score as the main ranking factor. You can read about the detailed ranking methodology here.
