@Napp might have gone there judging from his complex vocabulary and his support for past British imperialism.

The data doesn't say it's 'terrible' - some performance measures are good and the Sixth form is rated 'good'. You can't compare raw results between a highly selective school and a comp. Your current school has a high number of disadvantage students {DfE data}

You don't have to go to a Private school to get great A level results. Remember state school can't manipulate their data in the same way that Private schools can ...

What proportion of disadvantaged students do they have?

Eton's A level progress is only 'average' [-0.04] and they have fewer than 5 disadvantaged students in the 2019 A level cohort. Very different to a GS ...
