The top three secondary schools in Leeds have been revealed in The Sunday Times Schools Guide 2023.
The publication’s 30th edition of Parent Power created a league table with more than 1,600 schools across the country.
The top-performing schools in Leeds include Horsforth School, Prince Henry’s Grammar School in Otley, and The Grammar School at Leeds.

Prince Henry’s Grammar School has also been handed the prestigious award of the Parent Power Comprehensive School in the North.
The guide was created using the first set of post-pandemic set of results for independent and state schools in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Families can search through the guide by name local authority, town, and postcode, allowing them to find the best school in their area.
The rankings in the secondary school league tables are determined by the percentage of examination entries gaining A*-B at A-level and the percentage of entries returning A* and A grades, and those graded 9, 8, and 7, at GCSE and iGCSE.
Helen Davies, editor of The Sunday Times Parent Power guide, says: “These have been a challenging few years for teachers, pupils, and their parents, and the success of many in our league table is a testament to the stamina and support shown by all concerned.
“It is also clear that more attention is being placed on wellbeing and mental health – from meditation rooms to counselling support, even therapy dogs – and schools are being proactive to bring about positive changes.
“League tables are not the only criteria a parent can use when choosing a school, but they are a good starting point. We want to celebrate excellence. We want to champion schools that are doing wonderful work. We want our children to be well-nurtured and well-taught. In choosing a school parents are making one of the biggest decisions in their family life, and Parent Power and The Sunday Times is here to Help.”
