What does 'points' mean on my results sheet?

It can't be because I got 210 for my C. Is it the UMS boundary for the grade below?

I think it is the number of points the school gets for their league table position - so it doesn't really mean much to the student.

I think it is referring to this stuff:-

•

A level - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/leaguetables/10590630/A-level-school-league-tables-2014-compare-your-schools-performance.html

•

GCSE - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/leaguetables/6975386/GCSE-league-tables-2010-how-to-read-the-tables.html

If that is what it is, we just need someone to explain why some sick mind somewhere created a new points scheme for the league tables, and why they didn't just use the UCAS tariff scheme :confused:

Here you go (EXAMINATION POINT SCORES USED IN THE 2013 SCHOOL AND COLLEGE PERFORMANCE TABLES) - http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance/16to18_13/Point_Score_Document_final.pdf

For an educational department proposing a heavily numerical formula, I find it ironic that every page is marked as page 8. However, if you ignore that, GCSEs are on page 3 and A levels are on page 5.
