What the data says

Of the 325 pupils who finished Year 11 at Collingwood College in 2023, 31% stayed on in Collingwood College’s own sixth form (Surrey average 29%), 24% went to a further education college and 2% started an apprenticeship.

Among the 79 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 41% went to university (Surrey 41%, England 37%), and 14% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.

Sixth form colleges are the main next step: 30% of leavers went to one, roughly twice the England rate of 13%.

Physical Education is unusually popular at GCSE: 28% of the year group took it, against 11% of pupils across England.
