What the data says
The Department for Education has not published where Ibstock School’s Year 11 leavers went next, so this page relies on the school’s results and subjects.
Design and Technology is unusually popular at GCSE: 38% of the year group took it, against 11% of pupils across England.
GCSE results in 2025 were below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 41.5 against 46.1 across England and 46.2 in Leicestershire, with 38% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
Languages are a small part of the curriculum here: entries in French add up to 16% of the year group, and 13% of pupils entered the full EBacc set of subjects (England 41%).
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 Leicestershire and England.
The Department for Education has not published destination figures for this school (new school, small cohort or not a state-funded school).
