Selective about success

I turned to scan the list of outstandingly successful secondary schools compiled by the Office for Standards in Education, listed in the same edition.
I read that of the four Buckinghamshire grammars nominated for inspection “Oscars” none dropped below 95 per cent of pupils gaining five or more GCSEs at grades A to C. I cannot see the logic.
In selective grammar schools the entire intake should achieve five or more top grades. These schools are apparently failing up to one in 20 of their pupils yet OFSTED deems them outstanding.
Please will someone explain?
