An academy in London was today named the best school in England for GCSE and English Baccalaureate results.
Every girl at The Henrietta Barnett School achieved at least five A to C grades including English and maths last year, while it also had a 100 per cent pass rate for the English Baccalaureate.
The school in Hampstead, North London, was followed by Dartford Grammar School in Kent and Altrincham Grammar School for Girls near Manchester, which also had 100 per cent A-C pass rates
However they missed out on top spot due to pass rates for the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) at 98 per cent and 97 per cent respectively.
Meanwhile The Liverpool Blue Coat School finished in fourth place - with a 100 per cent score on GCSE A-Cs and 96 per cent on EBaccs - but had the highest average pupil points score of 696.1.
The figures also show that 88,000 more youngsters are taking the EBacc subjects of English, maths, science, a language and either history or geography, compared with 2010.
The strong performances were revealed as it also emerged that more than 250,000 children are not getting a decent education, including pupils at three of the Government's flagship free schools.
