Queen Ethelburga’s College and Faculty has placed first and ninth respectively in the independent secondary schools list for the North of England, by Parent Power – The Sunday Times Schools Guide 2019.
The guide identifies the 2,000 highest-achieving schools in the UK, ranked by their recent examination results.
Steven Jandrell, Principal at Queen Ethelburga’s, said: “We are delighted with our students’ results this year and that both of our schools are ranked in the top ten schools in the North of England. We’re particularly pleased with our performance at A Level, as these results ensure that our students have the opportunity to go on to many of the top universities in the UK.
“Of course, examination results are only part of the story. The vast range of enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities available to our students is also crucial to their growing independence and initiative, in our culturally rich environment. The skills these develop in areas such as leadership, teamwork and decision making are going to be equally important in taking them forward to successful careers and fulfilling lives.”
