These 14 York schools feature in this year’s list of the best in Britain

Every year the Sunday Times brings out its guide to schools.

This year’s has just been published. The 24th edition of Parent Power identifies the 2,000 highest-achieving schools in the UK, ranked by their recent examination results.

Altogether 14 schools in and around York feature in that list, including one state primary, four state comprehensive and nine private secondary schools.

According to the ranking York has the top two schools in the North in Queen Ethelburga’s College and St Peter’s, both fee-paying schools.

York also has one of the top ten state secondary schools in the North. Fulford School is at number ten in that list, while it is 213= in the full list of 2K schools.

Two state secondary schools rank higher than fee-paying equivalents in the city: Fulford is ranked above Bootham, The Mount and Pocklington Schools, while Archbishop Holgate’s is above the latter two.

Ripon Grammar School is named as the top state sector school in the North for an impressive forth year in a row.

The Sunday Times Parent Power report is considered an authoritative survey of the country’s best schools. It comes out a few weeks ahead of the official Government tables for secondary school performance.
