Shades sit at fixed distances from the England figure for this subject, so the same colour means the same distance from national whichever subject you pick.

An area here is the school or college the student attends. Sixth forms and colleges draw from a wide catchment, so this says less about where families live than the GCSE map does.

About the data

Source: Department for Education, A level and other 16 to 18 results, 2024/25. Coverage is students at the end of 16-18 study in england. For each subject the figure is the share of students taking that subject who achieved grade A or above.

Students are grouped by the area the school or college is in, not where the student lives. That matters more at this level than at GCSE, because sixth forms and further education colleges serve much wider areas than secondary schools do. An area with a strong selective sixth form will look strong here whether or not its own residents are the ones attending.

There is no overall figure across all subjects on this page, and that is deliberate. The release does carry an all-subjects grouping, but its grade bands add up to the number of students rather than the number of entries, which means every student is counted once under a single grade, and the rule for choosing that grade is not stated. Publishing a headline we could not define would be worse than leaving it out. The subject figures have no such problem: the denominator is simply the students taking the subject.

An area needs at least 100 students taking a subject before we publish its share. Below that, one or two results move the figure by several points, and a whole county would be shaded on that basis.

Every subject in the release is here, apart from the grouped ones described above. Nothing is left out for looking thin: a subject that clears the floor in only a handful of areas keeps those areas, and a subject that clears it nowhere still keeps its regional figures, because regions pool far more students than a single authority does. The only subjects missing are those where no area and no region reaches 100 students, and the qualifications the release still lists but nobody now sits.
