These are the top 5 independent schools in the UK

Britain’s schools and universities are some of the most reputable globally.But what schools perform best academically, as measured through GCSE and A Level results? According to The Telegraph’s league table, private girls’ school St Mary’s School Ascot is in the top spot when it comes to GCSE performance among independent schools this year. It achieved a 97.5 percent A*-A or 9-1 rate. These are the top five schools with the best GCSE. The rankings are the latest examples of the “Quality of education” factor that motivates high net worth families to send their children to school and university in the UK. According to a survey last year by private tutoring company Keystone Tutors and executive search and advisory company Wild Search, the other key driver is the “prestige of school/university name”.Despite the political turmoil of Brexit, the majority of high net worth families would still consider sending their children to study in the UK, with 61 percent of respondents claiming their clients’ appetites for UK education have not changed in the past 12-months, whilst 24 percent feel it has increased and only 16 percent feel it has decreased.
