In March, year 6 children in England and Wales found out which secondary school they will be attending in September 2024 - but which are the highest achieving secondary schools in Birmingham?
There are a number of brilliant secondary schools across the city, so we’ve analysed government data to reveal the Birmingham secondary schools that have best attaintment 8 results.
Schools get a score based on how well pupils have performed in up to 8 qualifications, which include English, maths, 3 English Baccalaureate qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and three other additional approved qualifications.
The Attainment 8 score is the average measure of an individual student's progress across their 8 best performing subjects taken at GCSE level.
It’s the latest school performance data, which is published on the government website.
Let's take a look at the 22 best Birmingham schools based on academic performance.
