What the data says

The Department for Education has not published where Queen's Gate School’s Year 11 leavers went next (destination measures are not published for independent schools), so this page relies on the school’s results and subjects.

Drama is unusually popular at GCSE: 35% of the year group took it, against 7% of pupils across England.

A level grades average A-, well above the England average of B-; 3% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are English Literature, Psychology and Fine Art.
