What the data says
The Department for Education has not published where Hill House 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 B, above the England average of B-; 27% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Mathematics, Psychology and Physical Education.
