Heckmondwike Grammar School is set to top the list in the region with 100 per cent of its pupils achieving at least five A* to C grades at GCSE, including English and maths in last summer's exams.

The selective state school was one of four in the region to achieve this but is set to be ranked higher than three private schools, Ashville College in Harrogate, Bradford Grammar, and Hill House in Doncaster, because it had a higher average candidate point score.

Sheffield High School was ranked as the fifth best school in the region with 99 per cent of its pupils making the grade.

These schools are all set to feature in a league table highlighting the country's top 200 secondary schools at GCSE along with state grammar schools Skipton Girls' High, Crossley Heath in Halifax and North Halifax and the independent Girls' Grammar School at Bradford.

Dixons Academy was the highest ranked academy in the region and also finished in the top 200 state schools in the country while St Aidan's CE High School in Harrogate was the region's highest ranked comprehensive. Headteacher Dennis Richards said he was delighted with the results which also meant St Aidan's had the highest value added score in North Yorkshire.
