What the data says

Of the 25 pupils who finished Year 11 at Cricket Green School in 2023, 4% stayed on in Cricket Green School’s own sixth form (Merton average 60%), 12% went to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.

Almost every leaver found a sustained destination: only 0% were not in education, work or training six months on, against 6% nationally.

Almost nobody goes straight into an apprenticeship or a job: none took an apprenticeship and none went into work, against 3% and 3% across England.

Cricket Green School is a special school: its GCSE figures (Attainment 8 of 0.3, 0% with grade 5 or above in English and maths) are published by DfE for completeness and are not comparable with mainstream schools.
