Its letter

No letter for Woodlands School

Special schools aren’t given a letter: their pupils’ needs differ too much for results to compare with mainstream schools.

Letters go to England’s open mainstream state schools with published Key Stage 2 or GCSE results (grammar schools included), each against the schools of its own phase.
