Best secondary schools in East Anglia 2021
The digital learning revolution came early to the Stephen Perse Foundation, our East Anglia Independent School of the Decade. Former headteacher Tricia Kelleher, who retired last summer, brought in screens alongside books nearly 10 years ago, posting a series of lessons on iTunes, available for pupils everywhere.
With the sudden shift to online learning last March as the coronavirus pandemic shut down education, the school found itself outstandingly well placed. John Dix, the chair of governors, said in a tribute to Kelleher: “I am proud to say we were able to close the school sites on Friday and continue online teaching and learning to a full timetable on the following Monday.
“This digital vision has allowed the foundation to lead the way in the UK and in the independent schools’ sector.”
Colchester Royal Grammar School:
- Sunday TImes’ East Anglia State Secondary School of the Decade
- Had more than 90% of A-levels graded A*-B. In seven of the past 10 years
- Has a limited number of boarding places — has ranked in the UK top 10.
- It is one of eight selective grammar schools to dominate the field in Essex.
Impington Village College, near Cambridge, is the highest-ranked school outside Essex, in eighth place.
The best in Suffolk is ranked 12th and Norfolk’s leading school is 19th, behind some Essex comprehensive schools — even though the high-performing grammars in the county cream off the most academically able children.
