Leeds has a host of brilliant schools, with Ofsted inspectors rating 15 as Outstanding since the start of 2023 but which secondary schools rank the best for behaviour and personal development?
Since the single headline grades for schools was scrapped, parents will now see schools graded across a number of sub-categories, including Quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and leadership and management.
Here are the 16 Leeds secondary schools, within 10 miles of Leeds city centre, who scored an Outstanding or Good for either behaviour and attitudes or personal development during full Ofsted inspections in 2024.
