The Welsh government’s controversial colour-coded ranking system classifies every school in the country in one of four groups, – green, yellow, amber and red – as part of a categorisation system designed to drive up performance.

In this the second year of publication, out of a total of 212 secondary schools, 39 have been placed in the “green” category. This figure is up from 30 last year. However, the number rated in the bottom category, red, has also gone up, from 23 last year to 26 this year.
