Results and Ofsted

The government advises that school and college performance data for the 2022/2023 academic year should be used with caution:

  • In 2022/23, qualifications returned to pre-pandemic standards. Performance measures that are based on qualification results will reflect this, and cannot be directly compared to measures from 2021/2022.
  • There are ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected individual schools, colleges and pupils differently.
Below are resources relating to how well the school is performing:

* This data covers students who left 16 to 18 study in 2020/21 and follows their destinations in 2021/22. The following should be considered when using this data:
– The make up of the cohort has changed this year compared to previous years. This change has particularly impacted students in state-funded mainstream colleges, who are more likely to spend more than two years in the same college. Caution should therefore be taken when comparing 16 to 18 destination measures between schools and colleges.
– There was also no checking exercise for this cohort of students.
– There are ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected individual schools, colleges and pupils differently.
