Our Students’ Destinations: Success Year After Year
Outstanding Progress Beyond Year 11
Each year, the vast majority of our Year 11 leavers move on to positive post-16 destinations that meet the Raising the Participation Age (RPA) requirements. From 2019 to 2024, between 93% and 98% of students successfully progressed into education, employment or training — consistently outperforming the Portsmouth local authority average.
High point:
· 2023 saw a remarkable 98.1% of students meeting RPA, well above the local average of 94.4%.
Beating the Local Average – Consistently
Across every reported year, our school matches or exceeds local authority outcomes for post-16 destinations. This reflects strong careers guidance, tailored support and ambitious aspirations for every learner.
More students progressing positively than the LA average in 5 out of 6 years.
Exceptionally Low NEET Figures
We are proud that very few of our students become NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training).
Highlights include:
· 0% NEET in 2023
· Always significantly below the Portsmouth average
· Typical school figure between 0–2%, compared with 2–3% locally
This demonstrates our commitment to ensuring no student is left behind.
100% Success for Disadvantaged Students
In 2024, every single disadvantaged student secured a positive post-16 destination.
This 100% success rate reflects targeted support, strong pastoral care and effective progression planning for those who need it most.
Ambitious Next Steps: More Students Reaching Level 3
Our students are not just progressing — they are progressing ambitiously.
63.7% of students moved on to Level 3 courses, significantly higher than 56.1% across the Local Authority
Where our students go next
· A Levels: 35.5% (above the LA average)
· Level 3 Vocational courses: 26.6% (well above the LA average)
· Apprenticeships: 3.7% (higher than the LA figure)
This shows our students are well prepared for demanding academic and vocational pathways.
