星期日泰晤士報(The Sunday Times)於昨天(12 月 6 日)發佈了其年度英國學校報告 2025 Sunday Times Parent Power League Tables,並將英國各中小學按照公開考試成績及其他因素排行。在中學排行榜(以公開考試成績計算)的頭十名中,位於倫敦的學校共佔了七位。
排行第一的公立(state school)和私立學校(independent school)分別是位於倫敦的 The Henrietta Barnett School 和 St Paul’s Girls’ School。以下是兩個類別中各學校的排名:
十大公立學校:
- The Henrietta Barnett School, London
- Queen Elizabeth’s School, Barnet, London
- Wilson’s School, Wallington
- St Olave’s Grammar School, Orpington
- Pate’s Grammar School, Cheltenham
- The Tiffin Girls’ School, Kingston Upon Thames
- Colchester Royal Grammar School

值得留意的是,在合併了公立和私立學校的排行榜中,公立學校中只有 The Henrietta Barnett School 登上頭十位(排行第十),這顯示了私校在成績上仍然有較好表現。The Henrietta Barnett School 今年有 27 個學生考入劍橋大學或牛津大學。其校長 Emma MacLeod 呼籲政府提供更多資金來資助專科教師,以在公立和私立學校之間「創造公平的競爭環境」(”level the playing field”)。
