What the data says

Of the 18 pupils who finished Year 11 at Egerton High School in 2023, none moved to a sixth form college, 44% to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.

11% of leavers were not in sustained education, employment or training six months on, compared with 6% nationally.

Almost nobody goes straight into an apprenticeship or a job: none took an apprenticeship and none went into work, against 3% and 3% across England.

Egerton High School is a special school: its GCSE figures (Attainment 8 of 10.8, 6% with grade 5 or above in English and maths) are published by DfE for completeness and are not comparable with mainstream schools.

Progress 8 is not available for 2025 and 2026: these cohorts had no Key Stage 2 tests in 2020 and 2021, so there is no baseline. Attainment 8 shows results without taking pupils’ starting points into account.
