What the data says

Of the 205 pupils who finished Year 11 at Heathside School in 2023, 49% stayed on in Heathside School’s own sixth form (Surrey average 29%) and 9% went to a further education college.

Among the 113 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 77% went to university (Surrey 41%, England 37%), and 49% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.

GCSE results in 2025 were well above the national picture: Attainment 8 of 58.7 against 46.1 across England and 50.8 in Surrey, with 77% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).

Sixth form colleges are the main next step: 34% of leavers went to one, roughly twice the England rate of 13%.
