This is a breakdown of the level of study being followed by the 2020 cohort of pupils that have been specified at the time of gathering the information. Some students did not state which level they were studying. Apprenticeship pupils not included in this data: –

Subject Breakdown
Students from our 2020 cohort went on to study the following subjects.
Summary
As can be seen, Cardinal Newman College was the most popular destination for this cohort of pupils. The great majority of our pupils – 71% – went on to study a level 3 course, be that A-levels, a vocational course or training. This actual figure could be higher due to 5 pupils not having stated which level of study they had undertaken. A higher percentage of our ex-pupils went on to study a vocational type of course, as opposed to the more academic route of A-Levels. At the time of the information having been gathered, 100% of our 2020 cohort were in education, employment or training. Business Studies was the most popular individual subject, despite this not being offered to this cohort as an option to study at GCSE level. Criminology and Psychology were also popular despite our pupils not having previously studied these subjects.
In years to come, the destinations of each cohort will be compared to the years previous to them to see if there are any patterns or trends in which colleges, training providers and courses our pupils are going on to study.

Subject Breakdown
Students from our 2021 cohort went on to study the following subjects.
Summary
As can be seen, Cardinal Newman College was the most popular destination for this cohort of pupils. However, the percentage of pupils moving on to Cardinal Newman has decreased since last year (56% in 2020 to 39% this year. The numbers of pupils enrolling at Runshaw College has trebled this year with 19 pupils choosing there in comparison to 6 in 2020.
The great majority of our pupils – 68% – went on to study a level 3 course, be that A-levels, a vocational course or training. This actual figure could be higher due to 4 pupils not having stated which level of study they had undertaken. A higher percentage of our ex-pupils went on to study a vocational type of course, as opposed to the more academic route of A-Levels (46% chose vocational courses compared to 27% of pupils opting for A-Levels).
At the time of the information having been gathered, 98.6% of our 2021 cohort were in education, employment or training. 3 pupils are listed as NEET this year. Whilst this is not as high as last year’s 100%, Longridge High School continues to have high numbers of ex-pupils in EET in comparison to other areas of Lancashire, the North West and nationally.
Business Studies again was the most popular individual subject, there has been a drop in the number of pupils taking an English subject (11 this year compared to 20 in 2020)at college and less pupils have needed to re-sit GCSE Maths this year (only 3 pupils this year compared to 6 in 2020). Sociology, Criminology and Psychology were also popular despite our pupils not having previously studied these subjects.
Leavers Information - 2022
Report compiled by Kerrie Rogers (Assistant Headteacher – Lead for CEIAG / Mental Health and Wellbeing)
Context
In the 2022 cohort there were 157 pupils on roll. Male pupils = 79 and female = 78. 1 pupil was dual registered with Longridge High and St. Cecilia’s, and their GCSE results and information post-16 was taken by them. 1 pupil has since moved to Germany and therefore we have been unable to gather information about their post-16 destination. Both pupils were Pupil Premium. Out of the cohort of 155 which we are reporting data on, 8% (13 pupils) were listed as SEND pupils (1 of which had an EHCP). 21% (33 pupils) of the year group were Pupil Premium. 17 pupils were ‘More able’ (11%).
All pupils received at least one interview with an independent careers advisor, with some pupils (PUP/SEND) two interviews during year 10 and/or 11. All pupils are advised to apply for at least two colleges having received non-biased information from all of the local colleges and some training providers through way of assemblies, drop in sessions at lunchtime and visits to the colleges at the end of year 10 and through the open events held by the colleges. Pupils also receive presentations from Apprenticeship providers to widen their understanding of this process and how

Subject Breakdown
Students from our 2022 cohort went on to study the following subjects.
Summary
As can be seen, Cardinal Newman College was again the most popular destination for this cohort of pupils. However, the percentage of pupils moving on to Cardinal Newman has decreased again this year (56% in 2020 to 39% in 2021 and now 37% this year – although the actual number for this year remains the same as last year). The number of pupils choosing Runshaw, Preston and Blackburn have increased this year, with numbers to Myerscough decreasing.
Most of our pupils – 60% – went on to study a level 3 course, be that A-levels, a vocational course or training. This actual figure could be higher due to 4 pupils not having stated which level of study they had undertaken. A higher percentage of our ex-pupils went on to study a vocational type of course – 51% – as opposed to the more academic route of A-Levels (31% of pupils opting for A-Levels).
At the time of the information having been gathered, 100% of our 2022 cohort were in education, employment, or training. Longridge High School continues to have high numbers of ex-pupils in EET in comparison to other areas of Lancashire, the Northwest and nationally (nationally there are 12.3% of 16–24-year-olds not in education, employment or training, with 4.5% of 16–17-year-olds reported as NEET).
Our 2022 cohort have gone on to study a wider range of subjects/vocations than any other year group. Overall, 60 different subjects/vocations have been chosen by our 2022 cohort. Business Studies again was the most popular individual subject, there has been a drop in the number of pupils taking an English subject (11 this year compared to 20 in 2020) at college and less pupils have needed to re-sit GCSE Maths this year (only 3 pupils this year compared to 6 in 2020). Sociology, Criminology and Psychology were also popular despite our pupils not having previously studied these subjects.
