The measures are:
- Progress 8, which ranks student progress across eight core subjects, for which The King Edward VI School is sixth in the region
- Attainment 8, which measures the achievement across these eight subjects, for which The King Edward VI School ranked 10th
- the percentage of students achieving a grade 4 and above at GCSE maths and English. for which The King Edward VI School is fourth in the region, and
- the percentage of students achieving a grade 5 and above in maths and English, for which The King Edward VI School ranked fifth.
Headteacher Clare Savage said: “We are absolutely delighted that The King Edward VI School ranks in the top 10 schools across the 150 or so schools in the North East region in all these four performance measures.
“This is a superb achievement by our students and a fantastic reflection of their hard work and commitment throughout their time at the school. Furthermore, the expertise and support of our highly talented teaching and support staff has been absolutely central to these outstanding results.”
