The average point score per entry at Malton was 35.9, compared to the national figure of 31.79 and the North Yorkshire figure of 31.43. The percentage of Malton students achieving grades of AAB or higher in at least 2 “facilitating” subjects was 23.1%, compared to a national average of 17% and a North Yorkshire average 18.2%.
