With the Department for Education’s new 2024/25 key stage 4 data now released, it is possible to see which state secondary schools have excelled.

With the next round of secondary school applications just around the corner, we have rounded up the top-performing schools from across both Wolverhampton and Birmingham, according to the most recent set of data.
