Destination Data 2023 – Print version
Report compiled by Kerrie Rogers (Assistant Headteacher – Lead for CEIAG / Mental Health and Wellbeing)
In the 2022 cohort there were 141 pupils on roll with one pupil not counting in our final figures due to medical provision. Male pupils = 69 and female = 72. Out of the cohort of 140 which we are reporting data on, 12% (17 pupils) were listed as SEND pupils (1 of which had an EHCP). 27% (38 pupils) of the year group were Pupil Premium. 13 pupils were ‘More able’ (9%).
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 to apply for Apprenticeships when they become available.

Students from our 2023 cohort went on to study the following subjects
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 increased slightly this year in comparison to 2022 to 38% of the overall cohort moving to there (56% in 2020 to 39% in 2021, 37% in 2022) – although the actual numbers for this year have dropped from 58 to 53). The number of pupils choosing Preston, Myerscough and Blackburn are relatively unchanged this year. There has been a significant drop in pupils choosing Runshaw College in this cohort, with 50% less pupils moving there in 2023 in comparison to 2022.
The majority of our pupils – 61% – went on to study a level 3 course, be that A-levels, T-levels, a vocational course or training. A higher percentage of our ex-pupils went on to study a vocational type of course – 52% – as opposed to the more academic route of A-Levels (29% of pupils opting for A-Levels). These figures are on a par with the previous cohort in 2022.
At the time of the information having been gathered, 98% of our 2023 cohort were in education, employment, or training. Longridge High School continues to have low numbers of ex-pupils classed as NEET in comparison to other areas of Lancashire, the North West and nationally (nationally there are 11.9% of 16-24 year olds not in education, employment or training. In Lancashire, 2.6% of the proportion are known to be NEET with 5.3% being NEET or not known). This shows again that our figures are better than the regional and national data.
Our 2023 cohort have gone on to study a wide range of subjects/vocations. Overall, 58 different subjects/vocations have been chosen by our 2023 cohort. Psychology was the most popular individual subject, despite pupils not having experienced this previously. Criminology remains a popular subject for pupils from our school and there has been an increase in pupils going on to study Maths/Further Maths at A-Level.
