What the data says
The Department for Education has not published where Longspee Academy’s Year 11 leavers went next (the cohort is too small to report), so this page relies on the school’s results and subjects.
GCSE results in 2025 were well below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 6.9 against 46.1 across England and 50.5 in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, with 0% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
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 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole and England.
The Department for Education has not published destination figures for this school (new school, small cohort or not a state-funded school).
