A-Level results day: The best and worst performing Walsall sixth forms and colleges in 2024
Ahead of 2025 A-Level results day the Express and Star is looking at the best and worst performing sixth forms and colleges in the West Midlands.


These are the best colleges and sixth forms in Walsall 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 Walsall last year.
