What the data says

11% of leavers were not in sustained education, employment or training six months on, compared with 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.
Languages are a small part of the curriculum here: entries in Spanish add up to 5% of the year group, and 5% of pupils entered the full EBacc set of subjects (England 41%).
