GCSE results in the core subjects of English and maths are one of the key measures of secondary school performance.
We looked at the percentage of students who achieved Grade 5 or above (similar to high grade or low grade B in the old grading) in English and maths across Derbyshire secondary schools.
The data includes the latest 2024/2025 results published by the Department for Education.
The list below shows 10 schools in Derbyshire with the highest percentage of students who achieved a Grade 5 or above in English and maths and 10 with the lowest scores.
We also looked at the number of KS4 pupils in each school as well as their most recent Ofsted reports.
The ranking does not include special and private schools.
