These are the 'outstanding' schools in and around Chester and Ellesmere Port, according to the education watchdog.
Ofsted, the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills, gives one of four ratings to schools following a visit by inspectors - outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.
Among the 'outstanding' schools across the area are academies, rural schools and a special school which caters for a wide range of learning difficulties and special educational needs.
