What the data says

WQE and Regent College 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.

A level grades average C, below the England average of B-; 5% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Psychology, Business Studies and Mathematics.
