These are the trend tables for A-level performing/expressive arts, 2015-2019.

Compiled by Education Datalab, the tables show entries have decreased slightly, falling from 1,282 last year to 1,050 this year.

The proportion reaching the top grades has increased slightly, with 24 per cent achieving an A or A* (22.5 per cent last year). This appears to be driven by an increase in A grades, as A* results remained exactly the same as last year on 7.9 per cent.
