Scores are based on how well pupils have performed in up to eight qualifications, which include English, maths, three English Baccalaureate subjects including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and three other additional approved GCSEs.
The revised results for GCSE students in 2025 follows on from the provisional results published in October which now include adjusted scores following re-marks and appeals.
So as children relax during the February half-term, we have created a league table ranking Leeds’s highest-performing secondary based on their final Attainment 8 scores for the 2024/25 academic year.
Take a look below and see whether your child’s school is on the list...
