Telegraph grades every Hertfordshire secondary school on GCSE results

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 09:28 · Archive

The Telegraph has scored every Hertfordshire secondary school out of 40 based primarily on this summer's GCSE results.

The Telegraph has published a comprehensive guide to the nation's secondary schools, grading each institution out of 40 based on several criteria. This summer's GCSE results form the primary basis of the scoring, though the ranking also takes into account class sizes, where pupils progress after leaving school and the range of subjects available.

The assessment considered more than 2,000 secondary schools across the country, including dozens in Hertfordshire. Only the top 100 schools nationally received an exact national ranking, though all institutions were graded.

Dame Alice Owen's School in Potters Bar achieved particular distinction, ranking third nationally. The school was one of only three schools in the entire country to receive a perfect score of 40 out of 40. This placed it among the highest-performing secondary schools in the Telegraph's assessment.

Watford Grammar School for Boys was the only other Hertfordshire school to feature in the top 100 nationally, coming in at 83rd place. The ranking system also allowed comparison between schools within the same local area, providing parents and pupils with a way to assess how institutions performed against their regional peers.
