Results below include those reported under the school’s previous registration: Clarendon School (URN 102952, until 1 September 2016).
What the data says
Clarendon School has no sixth form. Of the 29 pupils who finished Year 11 there in 2023, none moved to a sixth form college, 59% to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.
GCSE results in 2025 were well below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 10.8 against 46.1 across England and 56.6 in Richmond upon Thames, with 15% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
Almost nobody goes straight into an apprenticeship or a job: none took an apprenticeship and none went into work, against 3% and 3% across England.
As an 11–16 school, Clarendon School is judged on where pupils go at 16 rather than on A level results.
