The educational establishment had taken up ninth position in 2021 and looks to have maintained the exact same spot in 2022

The league table covers state schools in Scotland and has been created using a formula that looks at how many pupils achieve five Highers or more in 2021 - the Scottish Government's "gold standard."

Jordanhill in the west end of Glasgow came out on top in the list that was released by The Times Scotland on June 22.

It is worth noting that the school is unique as it is directly funded by a grant from the Scottish government rather than a local council authority - it is the sixth year in a row that the school has topped the table.

Although pupils attending Jordanhill predominantly come from more affluent communities and backgrounds.

Unfortunately the league table tells a story of affluence trumping deprivation with the top ten schools all being situated in some of the countries most well off communities.

The top ten are as follows: 1. Jordanhill School (Grant aided) 2. Bearsden Academy (East Dunbartonshire); 3. St Ninian's High School (East Renfrewshire); 4. Cults Academy (Aberdeen City); 5. Williamwood High School (East Renfrewshire); 6. Glasgow Gaelic School (Glasgow City); 7. Dunblane High School (Stirling); 8. Gryffe High School (Renfrewshire); 9. Boroughmuir High School (Edinburgh City); 10. Bishopbriggs Academy (East Dunbartonshire).
