Sixth Form Size

2,624 students in years 12-13 at the end of their study programme (2024-25). Up from 2,578 in 2023-24.

School figure only: local-authority and England averages aren't available for sixth-form cohort size, so no comparison is shown.

Total A-Level Entries

2624 students were in the sixth-form cohort in 2024-25. Up from 2477 in 2022.

Local Authority and England figures are not published for cohort size, so this indicator shows the school only.

A-Level Entries Trend
Loading chart...
Series20212022202320242025
School—2477.02426.02578.02624.0

In plain words

Sixth-form cohort size over time: School vs Local Authority vs England. Hatched columns mark years with no data or COVID-affected exam years (centre- or teacher-assessed grades) that are not directly comparable.

Let's talk it through

PLACEHOLDER — the real conversation lands here. Picture a short, friendly walkthrough of this chart: what A-Level Entries Trend has been doing over time, how this school compares with its local area and England, and the one question worth asking at an open day.

PLACEHOLDER — a second beat will read the actual numbers, e.g. “the gap to England has narrowed two years running”, so the chart feels explained rather than just displayed.

Prototype slide — placeholder copy, real metric descriptions coming later.
