While the Government ranks secondary schools on a number of different measures, we have picked out the best and worst performing based on the '˜attainment 8' measure. 

The Attainment 8 score measures the achievement of a pupil across eight different subjects.

Pupils are given a score in eight different GCSEs and for each subject, pupils are given a mark from 1 to 9 (for English and Maths) or from 1 to 8.5 (for other subjects).
