What the data says

The Department for Education has not published where St John's Preparatory and Senior 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.

Biology is unusually popular at GCSE: 100% of the year group took it, against 23% of pupils across England.

Most pupils take the three separate sciences: at least 78% sat Biology, Chemistry and Physics as individual GCSEs, compared with about 23% nationally.

A level grades average B, above the England average of B-.

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 Enfield 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
