The Shropshire Star has released a list of the top 20 secondary schools in Shropshire based on their 'Attainment 8' scores. The list highlights schools with exceptional student performance in a range of subjects.
The Shropshire Star has ranked schools based on their 'Attainment 8' scores from data published by the British Government.The Attainment 8 score is calculated by evaluating how well students have performed in a maximum of eight qualifications, which include: English, maths, three English Baccalaureate qualifications including sciences, computer science, history, geography and languages, and three other additional approved qualifications.
Each grade that a pupil achieves is assigned a point score from 9 (highest) to 1 (lowest), and a pupil's Attainment 8 score is calculated by adding up the points for their eight subjects, with English and maths counted twice.Newport Girls' High School Academy, Wellington Road, Newport.
