The Blue Coat school has been named the North West's third-best state school in The Sunday Times' schools guide.
The guide, named 'Parent Power', identifies the highest-achieving schools in the UK and this year's edition used the first post-pandemic set of results for state and independent schools since the pandemic. The schools are ranked by the percentage of examination entries gaining A*-B at A-level (which is given double weighting) and the percentage of entries returning A* and A grades, and those graded 9, 8 and 7, at GCSE and iGCSE.
Altrincham Grammar School for Girls was named the best school in the region, with Altrincham Grammar School for Boys following in second. Wavertree's Blue Coat came third, with 88.2% entries gaining A*-B at A-level, and 81.4% of GCSE entries returning grades of 9,8 or 7.
