| Abstract: | This briefing report, commissioned by the Sutton Trust, provides an update on social selectivity in England's top performing comprehensive schools drawing on GCSE data up to 2023/24. It builds on the Selective Comprehensives 2024 report, which used 2021/22 attainment data. The main aim of the report is to assess whether top performing comprehensives are representative of their local areas in terms of the socio-economic background of their pupils. This report is the first Selective Comprehensives report to also consider whether there is social selection in special educational needs and disability (SEND) representation (as measured by a pupil having an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and/or SEN Support) across top comprehensive schools. |
