What are post-16 tables?

Ralph Lucas (Editor, The Good Schools Guide) gives expert video advice on: Where can I get a copy of a school's exam results?; Where can I get a copy of the school's OFSTED report?; What are league tables? and more...

Post-16 tables show what children have achieved by age 18 in the two years after GCSE and mostly by way of aid offers, but these days also incorporating the international baccalaureate and various vocational exams. They are all lumped in together and you are given a single point score, and it tells you roughly what sort of level children are achieving in that school. They give you an idea of how academic and how high achieving the school is, but there's so much lumped in there these days that it's quite difficult to know what they mean.
