A Colwyn Bay school is named as one of the highest performing schools in Wales and across the country in general.

Along with Ruthin School in Denbighshire, Ysgol Eirias features in Parent Power, The Sunday Times Schools Guide 2022, published in The Sunday Times.

The 29th edition of Parent Power identifies the 2,000 highest-achieving schools in the UK, ranked by their recent examination results. A fully searchable national database by school name, local authority, town and postcode, together with regional rankings are available to Times and Sunday Times subscribers here.

As well as assessment of all academic results on a school-by-school basis, Parent Power enables parents to compare the performance of a given school with other schools in the same town, local authority or nationally. There are also live links to school websites and schools’ most recent inspection reports.

Parent Power is widely acknowledged as the most authoritative survey of the country’s best schools.

The rankings in the secondary school league tables are determined by the percentage of examination entries gaining A* to B grades at A-level (which is given double weighting) and the percentage of entries returning A*, A, 9, 8 and 7 grades at GCSE.
