School League Tables
Apologies if this is old, well thrashed over news...
What's the scoop with the 2006 league tables? I was considering Haileybury for my son but suddenly their GCSE results have dropped from a steady high 80/90% to 20%. Is this a typo or has something happened? All the other schools seemed fairly steady in their results. Anybody have any idea?
Thanks.

Thousand apologies - just found the posts dealing with this.

I still find this odd. Why do so few Haileybury students take English and Maths as two of their five GCSE subjects?

They are still taking English and Maths but the school chooses to enter them for International GCSEs (IGCSEs) in English and/or maths.
However, these IGSEs are not approved for use in state schools - and they are therefore not taken into account in the government's performance tables.
