County schools have been named as some of the best in the region as part of a high profile national report.
Today, (Friday, December 6), the top schools in the East Midlands have been named in The Sunday Times 32nd edition Parent Power Guide.
Several Lincolnshire schools have been named in the list, including The King’s School in Grantham which has been named as the State Secondary School of the Year in the region.

Helen Davies, editor of Parent Power, said: “The educational landscape is changing.
“Teacher shortages, rising student mental health issues and special educational needs and the VAT rise.
“But, there is also so much to celebrate from the hard work of passionate and committed teachers who are finding even more innovative and impactful ways to boost their students and give them the very best start to life.
“As well as celebrating the academic excellence of the top schools, it is fantastic to see how they are shaping their students to be ready for the 21st century.”
The guide is available online at thetimes.com/best-schools-league-table and will be a 28-page supplement in the paper on Sunday (December 8).
It includes a searchable national database of more than 2,000 schools by name, local authority, town and postcode.
As well as an assessment on all academic results, Parent Power enables parents to compare the performance of each school in the same town, local authority or nationally.
