How the letter is worked out
Northern Ireland selects at 11. Grammar schools average 94% of pupils with five good GCSEs including English and maths, non-grammar schools 60%. Ranked against all 186 schools together, a non-grammar school would be held to grammar-school intakes, and a grammar school would look outstanding for its intake alone. So Mount Lourdes Grammar’s B+ is its place among Northern Ireland’s 66 grammar schools: better than 70% of them. Among all schools it is better than 89%.
The bands are the site’s own: A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, and so on down to D− for the bottom 5%. It rests on one year’s results; Northern Ireland publishes no progress measure.
