The Sunday Times has revealed its Parent Power Schools Guide 2022 and The Grange School has made the list

Published by The Grange School on Thursday 13th of January 2022

The 29th edition of the guide reveals the highest achieving schools across the UK and ranks them based on their examination results from 2017-19. This year, The Grange School was ranked the sixth best independent secondary school in the region.

Alastair McCall, the editor of Parent Power, said:

“The need for clarity about school examination performance has never been greater after two years of teacher assessed grades, during which for completely understandable reasons, the numbers of top grades increased dramatically.

We felt it was important to go back to the last sets of moderated public examination outcomes from 2019, 2018 and 2017 to get the most accurate and current view of school academic achievement. By taking a three-year average, we mitigated against relatively poor performance in a one-off year.

“At a time when some schools are making hard to substantiate claims of academic prowess based on outcomes from 2021 and 2020, we believe these rankings – and all the additional information on offer in Parent Power – provide parents with a more reliable guide to academic achievement in schools today.”
