What the data says

The Department for Education has not published where David Game College’s Year 11 leavers went next (destination measures are not published for independent schools), so this page relies on the school’s results and subjects.

A level grades average C-, well below the England average of B-; 9% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry.

Languages are a small part of the curriculum here: entries in French add up to 10% of the year group, and 0% of pupils entered the full EBacc set of subjects (England 41%).

Where pupils went after Year 11

Destinations of the 2023 Year 11 leavers, measured the following year: the share in a sustained place for at least two terms. Compared with all state-funded schools in City of London and England.

The Department for Education has not published destination figures for this school (new school, small cohort or not a state-funded school).

Where students went after sixth form

Destinations of students who finished 16–18 study in 2023, measured the following year.
