At Bradford Grammar School, 98 per cent of pupils got at least five A* to C grades at GCSE, including English and maths, placing it in the top 200 of schools nationally.

Head teacher Kevin Riley said: “We have bright, aspirational children, hard-working, dedicated staff, and fantastic facilities at Bradford Grammar School.

“We have got these great ingredients, and if you can’t bake a cake with that, you shouldn’t be in the kitchen!”
