The government’s brand new preliminary performance figures for secondary schools have been released.
Using this data, we’ve ranked the top secondary schools across the Harrogate district for the 2023/24 school year - based on their latest Progress 8 scores.
This is a unique figure based on GCSE results and other student achievements, which demonstrates how well a secondary school’s pupils developed their skills compared to peers starting from similar primary schools nationwide.
We’ve selected the secondary schools that have a score above 0 and are considered to be ‘average’ or above.
