What the data says
The Department for Education has not published where Leweston 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.

Most pupils take the three separate sciences: at least 67% sat Biology, Chemistry and Physics as individual GCSEs, compared with about 23% nationally.
A level grades average B-, above the England average of B-. The largest A level subjects are Biology, Psychology and Geography.
