Out of interest, do many people in state comprehensive schools get a minimum of 3 straight A's at A'level?

State comprehensives are quite a heterogeneous group. Overall, state comprehensives are about 4x less likely to get AAA than a state-schooled pupil. There are good comps and bad comps though: the bottom 2000 schools (2/3 of all schools) have oxbridge admissions rates of less than 1 pupil per year, and of all the pupils at the bottom 20 schools in the country, just 5% managed to get into a top 30 university (many of which have requirements far below AAA).
