These were the best-performing secondary schools in Leeds for GCSE results in 2025.
The deadline for parents and carers of children due to start Year 7 in September 2027 to submit their secondary school preferences closes on Saturday (October 31) and with that in mind we have taken a look at the best-rated secondary schools for their GCSE results.
They have been ranked based on their final Department for Education Attainment 8 scores for the 2024/25 academic year.
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.
Take a look below and see whether your child’s preferred school is on the list...
