"Sunday Times" State Schools Book (Paperback, Paperback Original)

For the first time, state secondary schools under every United Kingdom education authority have been ranked in national league tables. Detailing more than 500 of them, this book is a guide to the best schools (whether grammar or comprehensive, council-controlled or grant-maintained), what they are like, and how your child can get a place. Hundreds of headteachers have given first-hand information about how their schools provide the best the state system can offer, including GCSE pass rates, A-Level grades, higher-education success, other qualifications taught, discipline, homework, uniform, sporting achievements, popularity ratings and high-flying former pupils.
