"Sunday Times" State Schools Book 1998

A companion to the "Equitable Schools Guide", this is a guide to the state schools throughout the independent sector of the UK. It reveals which are the best schools, what they are like, and how a child can get a place. State schools in every education authority are now ranked in national league tables and the results are published in the press. This consumer guide to the premier state schools reveals which are the best schools, what they are like, and how a child can get a place. Numerous teachers give first-hand information about how their schools provide the best the state system can offer, including: GCSE pass rates; A-level grades; higher-education success; other examinations and qualifications offered; discipline; homework; uniforms; sporting achievements and high-flying former pupils.
