“To finish ninth in the list of top state secondary schools in the North of England is a great accolade and a true reflection of a huge amount of hard work from both our students and incredibly committed teachers and associate staff.

“Tadcaster Grammar School is the most amazing school with a very special and unique family feel.

“I feel hugely proud and privileged to be able to lead it and we will all continue to work hard to maintain and promote our culture of excellence.”

There are also live links to school websites and schools’ most recent inspection reports.

Parent Power is widely acknowledged as the most authoritative survey of the country’s best schools.

The rankings in the secondary school league tables are determined by the percentage of examination entries gaining A* to B grades at A-level this summer (which is given double weighting) and the percentage of entries returning A* and A grades at GCSE.

They are published several weeks ahead of the official Government tables for secondary school performance.
