Revealed: The top 10 secondary schools in the North East right now

St Mary's Catholic School is the best state-funded secondary school in Newcastle and the surrounding area, according to a comprehensive new guide.

The Real Schools Guide 2019, complied by Reach's data unit, aims to give a far more comprehensive picture than traditional league tables.

It takes into account 51 different data points - including not just GCSE results and Attainment 8 scores but also factors like Progress 8, pupil-teacher ratios and absence rates.

Find out more about how the results are compiled, here.

Here parents can browse the full data, compare different schools and find links to contact details and recent Ofsted reports.

The Guide, now in its seventh year, has been praised by ministers and education experts alike.

Former schools minister David Laws called it "public-service journalism in the best tradition".

This year's results put St Mary's Catholic School on top as the best school in the North East.

In second place is Emmanuel College in Gateshead, with St Anthony's Girls' Catholic Academy, Sunderland, in third.
