What the data says
The Henley 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 930 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 34% went to university (Oxfordshire 28%, England 37%), and 10% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.
A level grades average C, 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 Psychology, Business Studies and Sociology.
