A Level exam season is underway for students across Leeds.
As year sixth form pupils desperately cram for their A Level exams, we have taken a look at the Department for Education’s scoring for which schools and colleges in Leeds ranked the best according to their percentage of pupils achieving AAB or higher in their A Level results in 2025.
Facilitating A levels are ones that are commonly needed for entry to leading universities. They are: biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, further mathematics, geography, history, English literature and classical or modern languages.
So as students begin sitting those all important exams, we have created a league table ranking the 15 highest-performing schools and colleges in Leeds based on their final A Level results for the 2024/25 academic year. Take a look below and see whether your child’s school is on the list...
