IN PICTURES: The best-performing secondary schools in the Harrogate district according to new official league tables

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.

We’ve selected the secondary schools that have a score above 0 and are considered to be ‘average’ or above.
