What the data says
The Department for Education has not published where Sheffield High School GDST’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.
A level grades average A, well above the England average of B-; 49% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Biology, Mathematics and Chemistry.
Fine Art is unusually popular at GCSE: 36% of the year group took it, against 9% of pupils across England.
Where pupils went after Year 11
