Well done JFS: only one from Brent & Harrow on the list of top 396 schools

The Jewish Free School in Kenton (marked being in Harrow but under the Brent local authority) is ranked 78 in the table of all 396 UK state secondary schools based on their latest average performance in public examinations (GCSEs, A-Levels, and other exams).
It is 50 in the comparison list of all 396 UK state secondary schools based on their latest A-Level results in 2022. Only Nower Hill (at 226) and Bentley Wood (at 240) from Harrow are on this list.
The JFS has made good progress from the previous Ofsted inspection grade of “Inadequate” to good in April 2022. Inadequate means the school is failing to provide an acceptable quality of education and care for children, and will need to make significant improvements immediately.
The Ofsted inspection found the school senior leaders have well-established and clear expectations for the content and delivery of the school’s curriculum. Leaders, including members of the governing body, have acted swiftly and effectively to address weaknesses identified at the time of the school’s previous inspection.
In the top ten list of the state secondary schools in England, there are only two schools from the surrounding areas, both in the Labour controlled Barnet:
The Henrietta Barnett School: dubbed as one of the “magnificent seven”, the school was founded by Dame Henrietta Barnett in 1911 to improve girls’ education. It has since been recognised year after year as one of the best schools in the country, with high acceptance rates at Oxbridge and top achievements at GCSEs and A-Levels.
Queen Elizabeth’s School, Barnet: it has been consistently ranked among the top schools in the UK. Queen Elizabeth’s School topped the A-Level league tables for five years in a row, and it is consistently ranked among the top 5 schools in the UK.
Harrow schools once in a prominent place in the comparison tables, have gradually lost their place over the years.
