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: –
| Level | Number of pupils | % |
| 1 | 8 | 5.4 |
| 2 | 27 | 18.4 |
| 3 | 105 | 71.4 |
Students from our 2020 cohort went on to study the following subjects.
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.
