Asked where schools with no results should sit in an alphabetical list, and
found that some pages were almost entirely made of them.

The per-phase threshold counted schools that were publishable — a result OR
an Ofsted grade — while a phase page exists for its results column.
/schools/kent/primary published with none of its five rows carrying a result;
Minehead had one of seven, Buntingford one of five. Forty-four phase pages
were majority-blank.

It is the same rule as "no page without a local average", which was written
into the spec as a thin-page control and never extended per phase.

The threshold now counts schools with a result for that phase. It gates
whether the page exists; it does not filter rows — a page that publishes still
lists every school of the phase, because someone looking up a school by name
has to find it whether or not it published results.

126 of 1,012 variant pages stop publishing: 62 primary, 64 secondary. Every
one of them was a table with too little in it to be worth a page.

The ordering itself is unchanged: pure A-Z, blanks interleaved. A school sits
where its name says it does, and at roughly a tenth of rows that reads fine.
