What the data says
High Close School has no sixth form. Of the 16 pupils who finished Year 11 there in 2023, none moved to a sixth form college, 56% 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.
High Close School is a special school: its GCSE figures (Attainment 8 of 1.8, 0% with grade 5 or above in English and maths) are published by DfE for completeness and are not comparable with mainstream schools.
