Julia Wright, head teacher at Bingley Grammar, said she was delighted her school again featured in the country’s top 200 and was the district’s best-performing state school at GCSEs.

She said: “We have been in that list consistently for many years. I can’t deny we have wonderful, well-motivated students. They do work incredibly hard.

“We have got some fabulous teachers that go the extra mile to support our students. We have very supportive parents of our students as well.

“I’m hoping it’s going to be even better next year. I like to continually build on our success here at Bingley.”
