About these results Click to expand

These figures tell you about performance of students at this school or college at the 16 to 18 phase of education(opens a popup). These figures were published in January and March 2017, and data on attainment, English and maths, retention, and completion and attainment were revised in April 2017. They relate to students who completed their 16 to 18 studies in the summer of 2016, except where stated otherwise.

The number of students shown for each type of qualification is the number who entered at this school or college in 2016. Some students are included in more than one group - for example, a student who studied an A level will be counted in "A levels" but also in "Academic qualifications".

About this data Click to expand

This information comes from the school workforce census in November 2014 that covered all state funded schools in England.

The census covered all teachers with a contract of 28 days or more, as well as all teaching assistants and other support staff members employed directly by the school. It did not collect data from direct grant nurseries, independent schools, non-maintained special and general hospital schools.

Finance 2015 to 2016
