Destinations
In 2026, our Year 13 students achieved strong and increasingly purposeful destinations. While 73% progressed directly to higher education, many took a more considered approach, with 20% opting for a gap year to gain experience, travel or reapply for their preferred courses.
University outcomes were particularly impressive, with over half of students securing places at top-tier institutions and 41% progressing to Russell Group universities, an increase on the previous year. This reflects a growing trend of students making ambitious, well-informed choices about their future pathways.
Popular courses this year included Psychology and Law, alongside Criminology, History, Mathematics and Marketing, highlighting both the academic strength and diverse interests of our students.
Our students went on to a wide range of respected universities across the UK and beyond, demonstrating both the breadth and quality of destinations achieved.
