-David Read, headteacher at Scalby School, said: “Scalby’s results place the school in the top 20 per cent of schools in England with us achieving above the national average on all key measures. We are naturally delighted with these results which bear testimony to the hard work of the students, the strong support of parents and the talent and commitment of the staff.”

-Mark Taylor, headteacher at St Augustine’s RC School, said: “It’s great that results were even better this year than last, and that our most academically able pupils achieved some spectacular successes, but we are equally proud of our less able pupils who made good progress.”

- Andrew Galbraith, headteacher of Ebor Academy Filey, said: “The students in Year 11 didn’t get the best start with the school being in very difficult circumstances for four years those students were at the school. However, progress increased rapidly last year and the school is now above the government floor target.”

-Rob Williams, headteacher of Malton School, said: “I am delighted that Malton School has one of the higher Progress 8 scores in North Yorkshire. I am equally pleased that in the new measures there is an attempt to capture progress across a broad range of subjects.”
