Kudos to Nanny for managing to screw up even further her school league table system, that was already regarded by many (including Nanny herself) as being bollocks.
Nanny, in an attempt to make exams etc more "challenging" and "relevant", has altered what goes into her league tables.
Unfortunately, one type of qualifications that are excluded are International GCSEs. Which is ironic, because these are regarded as being more demanding and challenging than UK GCSEs.
The result being that those schools who seek to stretch their pupils by having them sit IGCSEs find their results excluded from the table.
Step forward Britain's leading independent schools, that now find themselves at the bottom of the table. My own alma mater (Dulwich) indeed resides at a leisurely 3864 towards the bottom of the table.
In short the table is bollocks!
Now if only Nanny hadn't got rid of O and A levels we wouldn't be in this mess, but hey hoh!

Quite. Back when I did my O levels I recall some of the kids from secondary getting grade 1 CSE's & being really pissed off because it was counted as C grade O level. There was no way to do any better. Nanny of course, instead of scrapping the CSE's.. ..well we can all see how that's worked out over the years.
