School performance tables

Bedford

DfE performance data for schools in England with published KS2 or KS4 results. Filter by local authority and phase. Each rank sits next to the school's cohort size, disadvantage and SEND figures, and schools that can't be ranked show why.

Rankings on their own can mislead. DfE's own guidance says a small year group can swing results (in a group of 10, one pupil is 10%), and that you should weigh a school's context, such as how many pupils are disadvantaged or have SEND, before comparing it (DfE guidance, archived). Read every rank alongside the cohort size, disadvantage and SEND figures shown next to it.

These KS4 2025/26 figures are the DfE's first release. They come before approved school amendments are applied, and the DfE revises them later (DfE, KS4 performance 2025/26).

These KS2 2024/25 figures are the DfE's updated release, replacing the provisional figures (DfE, KS2 methodology).
