About this page

School counts come from each school’s published leavers’ destinations and from the university’s own Freedom of Information response, matched by name or UKPRN; each row links to its source. A school’s figure counts places accepted in the summer, the university’s counts students registered in the autumn, and the DfE’s sustained-destination statistics on school pages are a third measure. Facts about the university are from its website (source). The University of Cambridge name and logo are trade marks of the university, shown to identify it; sch.today is independent of the university.
