Please note:

• A pupil is considered to have passed English if they have achieved a C/4 or above in English language or English literature. In previous methodology used in Jersey the C/4 or above had to be achieved in English language.
• Different schools can have very different intakes, so differences in attainment should not be assumed to result from differences in the quality of teaching.
• Under certain circumstances, pupils can be disapplied from appearing in a school’s results. They are still included in the results for the island given in section A.
• Results in reformed GCSE English Language may look low for some schools however it is important to note that this GCSE may have been taken by a subset of pupils only.
