What the data says

DN 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 2,166 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 9% went to university (Doncaster 28%, England 37%), and 1% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally; 12% started an apprenticeship, well above the 7% England average.

Where pupils went after Year 11

Destinations of the 2023 Year 11 leavers, measured the following year: the share in a sustained place for at least two terms. Compared with all state-funded schools in Doncaster and England.

The Department for Education has not published destination figures for this school (new school, small cohort or not a state-funded school).
