What the data says
Croydon College 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 1,155 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 18% went to university (Croydon 43%, England 37%), and 2% 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-; 4% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Sociology, Mathematics and Business Studies.
Where pupils went after Year 11
