That is why the tables below are also split into population bands: a town should be measured against places its own size before it is measured against a city.

Bristol, Lincoln and Monkton share credit with neighbouring towns for a regional high school. A regional's championship is split evenly between every town it serves rather than going to the town the building happens to sit in.
