Publisher's Synopsis
For the first time, state secondary schools under every United Kingdom education authority have been ranked in national league tables. Detailing more than 500 of them, this book is a guide to the best schools (whether grammar or comprehensive, council-controlled or grant-maintained), what they are like, and how your child can get a place. Hundreds of headteachers have given first-hand information about how their schools provide the best the state system can offer, including GCSE pass rates, A-Level grades, higher-education success, other qualifications taught, discipline, homework, uniform, sporting achievements, popularity ratings and high-flying former pupils.
