Points/entry (PPE) = average number of UCAS points per subject entry.
A-levels are awarded. UCAS points on the scale: A=10, B=8, C=6, D=4, E=2
AS-levels were counted as half an A-level (ie A=5 UCAS points)

Points/pupil (PPP) = average number of UCAS points per pupil

Passes/pupil = average number of A-level passes per pupil

FT-score = a weighting of the average points/entry (the quantity of grades attained) and the average points/pupil (the quality of grades attained). An FT score of 1.00 denotes the average score achieved by the schools in the FT-1000. A score of more than 1.00 denotes above average, less than 1.00 below average.
