The figures reveal which schools in the city had the best results for A*-A, A*-C and overall pass rates AG at GCSE.

The latest GCSE results for Wales last month saw Swansea beat the all-Wales results. The most recent Welsh Government figures comparing schools in the city are for the 2023-24 academic year.

They rank Bishopston Comprehensive as the best school in Swansea for GCSE grades last year.

Schools with the highest percentages of A*-As don’t necessarily have the highest percentages of A*-C or overall pass rates A*-G.

This may be an indication of a focus for top results rather than overall grades A* to G.

The gold standard are A* to C grades. Different areas also have very differing demographics and exam results are only one measure of performance.
