What the data says
United Colleges Group is a 16–19 provider, so there is no Year 11 cohort: this page covers where its students went after 16–18 study and what they achieved.
Among the 1,556 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 20% went to university (Westminster 42%, England 37%), and 3% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.
A level grades average D-, well below the England average of B-; 0% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Psychology, Sociology and Business Studies.
