Attainment and Progress

Skipton Girls’ High School is a centre of academic excellence where young women are challenged to succeed at the very highest levels. Each year we see this reflected in the outstanding results achieved at GCSE and A Level.

Exploiting their creative talent and intellectual energy these young women also excel across a breadth of activities which include Duke of Edinburgh, Engineering Education Scheme, Young Enterprise, and a wealth of music, sport and community activities.

Given the uneven impact of the pandemic on school and college performance data, the government has said you should not make direct comparisons between the performance data for one school or college and another, or to data from previous years.
