Ranked - college's and sixth forms in Shropshire

The post-16 education centres have been ranked on the average results from exams - the average grade and points score.

The figures released on the Government website reveal the average grade and points that students achieved per A-Level entry.

A points value is given to all qualifications. The number of points a qualification is worth is based on the 'challenge and size'.

A maximum of 60 points are available for a grade A* at A-Level.
