What the data says
Outwood Academy City has no sixth form. Of the 214 pupils who finished Year 11 there in 2023, none moved to a sixth form college, 57% to a further education college and 5% started an apprenticeship.
11% of leavers were not in sustained education, employment or training six months on, compared with 6% nationally.
GCSE results in 2025 were below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 40.4 against 46.1 across England and 43.2 in Sheffield, with 40% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
As an 11–16 school, Outwood Academy City is judged on where pupils go at 16 rather than on A level results.
