Hundreds of schools turn in a series of remarkable sporting results month after month – but who are the country’s best of the best?
School Sport Magazine's exclusive top 100 state and independent sports schools of the year list reflects competitive achievement in a range of sports throughout the year and honours those schools that take competition especially seriously.
Based on 19 different sports and more than 120 different national competitions, more weighting is given to success in a range of sports rather than single sports as well as competitions with more teams competing - with all results inputted into a special computer programme.
Reaching the top 30 of the state school list puts you in the top 1% in the country while making the top 100 puts you in the top 3%.
Reaching the top 30 of the independent school list puts you in the top 3% in the country while making the top 100 puts you in the top 10%.
Schools usually have to reach the later stages of at least two or three national competitions to make the list
.
The top 30 state sport schools are revealed in the November edition of School Sport Magazine each year while the top 30 independent sport schools are published in the January edition.
The top 100 lists are published online.
