What the data says
Mullion School has no sixth form. Of the 109 pupils who finished Year 11 there in 2023, none moved to a sixth form college, 70% to a further education college and 4% started an apprenticeship.
Fine Art is unusually popular at GCSE: 35% of the year group took it, against 9% of pupils across England.
GCSE results in 2025 were below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 43.7 against 46.1 across England and 45.2 in Cornwall, with 41% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
As an 11–16 school, Mullion School is judged on where pupils go at 16 rather than on A level results.
