Read more below as to which are the Best Schools East Midlands 2021.
Eight of the top 10 state secondary schools in the East Midlands are part of the Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools, led by Caistor Grammar School, The Sunday Times East Midlands State Secondary School of the Decade.
Over the past 10 years, Caistor’s results at A-level and GCSE have put it in the top 100 state secondary schools in the UK seven times, achieving 70%-80% A*-B grades at A-level. The school, founded in 1630, offers much more than exam success.
As a guide to what parents should look for in a school, his words sum it up neatly — and explain why the data Parent Power provides should be the starting point, not the deciding factor in the choice.
Comprehensive schools have featured prominently in our rankings over the past 10 years, too. One of Nottingham’s finest is Rushcliffe School, regional State Secondary of the Year in 2018, whose former head now leads Fulford School in York, the UK Comprehensive School of the Decade.
In 2011 Rushcliffe was in 376th place and climbed to 159th in 2018 before falling back a little. Derby is well represented in our top 500 by Littleover Community School, Landau Forte College and the John Port Spencer Academy.
Numbers at independent schools in the region dipped below 25,000 this year, suffering the biggest year-on-year fall in England of 1.3%. Nottingham High School is our East Midlands Independent Secondary School of the Decade, having topped our table for the past four years. Girls were admitted for the first time in 2015.
Sixteen independent schools make our regional rankings, providing a popular option in or around Nottingham, Leicester and Derby, each with three schools, while Loughborough is home to two leading fee-paying schools.
