Pupils in Islington secondary schools achieved stronger results than the national averages at the end of Key Stage 4 (GCSEs and equivalent) in 2022.

Higher proportions of Islington pupils achieved standard passes (grade 4 and above) and strong passes (grade 5 and above) in English and Maths than pupils nationally.
