Phil Willis MP will be visiting one of the country’s most improved schools on Friday.

When Harrogate High School saw 80% of its students attain the equivalence of 5 or more A*- C GCSEs it leapt into the top 25% of the country’s schools and into the top 5% of the most improved schools.

“I am looking forward to discussing with Andy Bayston, the school’s principal, just how the school made such a spectacular turn-round.” said Phil Willis. “This is obviously an exciting time for the school as it celebrates the success of its students.”
