TWO York secondary schools will be given £180,000 worth of funding, after being commended by the Government.
Huntington School and Archbishop Holgate's School will each receive £30,000 a year for the next three years, after being named Leading Edge schools.
The title is recognition of the schools' achievements and their ability to work with other schools.
The money will be spend on extending their work across the city.
The head teacher of Archbishop Holgate's, John Harris, said: "We are delighted to have been given this national recognition.
"It is something the school community as a whole can be justly proud of."
The head teacher of Huntington School, Chris Bridge, said: "We are very pleased about this recognition and are looking forward to working with other schools."
