These are the best colleges and sixth forms in Wolverhampton based on their 2024 A-Level results.

All of the data is made available on the Government website, and the figures are based on A Level progress scores.

These figures tell you how much progress students who studied A levels at this school or college made between the end of key stage 4 and the end of their A level studies, compared to similar students across England. They are also known as 'value added' scores.

The scores are calculated by comparing the A-level results of students at this school or college with the A level results of students in schools and colleges across England who started with similar results at the end of the previous key stage – key stage 4.

Here are the five best and five worst performers in Wolverhampton last year.
