Keep up the good work Mill people. But please don't fall for the 'best' schools line parroted by The Times. Exam results are just one measure. As a previous comment has pointed out, these are largely selective schools, and they are in affluent areas (including the comprehensives mentioned in The Times). Let's be more nuanced and sophisticated in discussing school performance.
Not just selecting from top 11+ takers, also bussing in from outside Trafford. But the other schools are good, my youngest was an 11+ ‘failure’, went to Wellington School got a Masters from Oxford and is now a PhD.
Most of the 11+ successes went to private crammers and very few are from lower income families. Brady deserves to be thrown out for his dishonest support of an iniquitous system. ( Plus his support of Brexit).

Trafford schools? Of course they come near the top. They select the top 11 plus takers! It’s the 80% who “ fail” who should get the reporting.
