A recently published school league table has been topped by a Hertfordshire school, with several in the Watford area making the UK's top 100.

Two Watford schools feature on the list, with Watford Grammar School for Girls in 34th and Parmiter's School coming 27th.
At Parmiter's, 37.5 per cent of grades were an A or A*, while at Watford Grammar School for Girls the figure stands at 39.6 per cent.
St Clement Danes School in Chorleywood - which placed 15th - was the only school in the Watford area to make the top 20.
