What the data says

The Department for Education has not published where Alleyn's School’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 A, well above the England average of B-; 64% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Mathematics, Physics and Psychology.

Chemistry is unusually popular at GCSE: 90% of the year group took it, against 23% of pupils across England.

Most pupils take the three separate sciences: at least 90% sat Biology, Chemistry and Physics as individual GCSEs, compared with about 23% nationally.

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 Southwark 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.

No published destinations for sixth-form leavers yet.
