What the data says

Of the 22 pupils who finished Year 11 at Woodlane High School in 2023, 5% moved to a sixth form college, 59% to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.

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.

Woodlane High School is a special school: its GCSE figures (Attainment 8 of 11.1, 0% with grade 5 or above in English and maths) are published by DfE for completeness and are not comparable with mainstream schools.
