Its letter

Alternative provision isn’t given a letter: pupils come for part of their schooling, so results don’t 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.
