National, regional and combined state-and-private tables have different scopes. Each position is labelled by its table, with awards listed separately.
A thoughtful starting point.
Use the table to begin a shortlist, then explore the school itself. The right school balances learning, wellbeing and a child’s individual needs. Different tables use different qualifications and scopes; their ranks should not be treated as interchangeable.
