Top UK State Secondary Schools - Methodology
Our league table is based on Parent Power’s ranking of all state secondary schools in the UK. These rankings are determined based on the average performance of the schools in public examinations, which include A-Levels, GCSEs, International Baccalaureate, Pre-U, Advanced Higher, Higher, and National 5 outcomes. Junior schools are also included in the league table and are calculated differently based on Standard Assessment Tests.
Our league table includes different types of schools in the UK as specified below:
- Academy – Government funded, run by an academy trust
- Independent school – privately funded schools
- Maintained school – Government funded, run by a local authority
The schools included in our rankings are selective with pupils to various extents – some are 100% selective with pupils, such as grammar schools; some are partially selective with only a certain percentage of its students; while some schools are comprehensive and do not select their students.
