Ark King Solomon Academy is the best school in west London, according to the latest GCSE results.

The school saw 95% of its pupils achieving at least five GCSEs at A* to C including English and maths in 2015, with 77% passing the tough English Baccalaureate.

Across England, the proportion of pupils achieving at least five GCSEs at A* to C including English and maths increased by 0.2%, with 52.8% of pupils in all schools, and 56.1% of pupils in state-funded schools achieving the measure in 2015.

In state-funded schools, 38.6% of pupils entered, and 23.9% achieved, the English Baccalaureate (EBacc).

The latest figures show, converter academies outperformed the national average by 7.2%, with 64.3% of pupils achieving at least five GCSEs at 5 A*-C including English and maths.

Sponsored academies saw a rise in the number of pupils reaching the expected standard compared to last year.

Results in sponsored academies open for two academic years have improved by 2.3% since 2014.

At A-level, for the first time, more than half of entries are now in the key facilitating subjects which universities and employers say keep people's options open.

More girls are choosing to study science and maths at A-level - with the number studying these subjects rising across the board compared to 2010.

Schools Minister Nick Gibb said: "Today's results show that thanks to the hard work of teachers and pupils, schools are already responding to this government's vital reforms - leading to higher standards and transforming young people's life chances.

"Our academies programme is revolutionising the school system, with converter academies leading the way and sponsored academies turning round schools which previously would have been left to languish.

"Our reforms to GCSEs and A-levels are based on the highest possible aspirations for our young people - providing a broad and balanced education and equipping them with the knowledge, skills and qualifications which will set them up to succeed."
