BURY's best performing schools have been revealed.

The department for education has released the annual secondary school 'league tables'.

The table details how each school did in last summer's GCSE exams.

Two Bury schools are among 346 nationwide said to be underperforming.

The best performing state-funded school is Manchester Mesivta School, where 74 per cent of pupils left achieving five or more good grades in their GCSEs including English and maths.

Number one in the table is Darul Uloom Al Arabiya Al Islamiya where 100 per cent of pupils achieved the benchmark.

Faith school dominated the top of the league tables.

The Derby High School was top for the progress children made since starting the school in Year Seven.

But in five schools children made below average progress and in two ­— Tottington High School and Broadoak School ­— young people made well below average progress.

This means they made less progress than other pupils nationally with similar starting points. 

Both schools fell below the Government's minimum standards in 2018.

Schools fall below the Government's performance threshold if pupils fail to make enough progress across eight subjects, with particular weight given to English and maths. 

A secondary is considered to be below the Government's floor standard if, on average, pupils score half a grade less (-0.5) across eight GCSEs than they would have been expected to compared to pupils of similar abilities nationally.
