What the data says
The Department for Education has not published where Twycross House 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.
Biology is unusually popular at GCSE: 91% of the year group took it, against 23% of pupils across England.
A level grades average B, above the England average of B-; 36% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology.
Nearly everyone studies a modern language to GCSE (Spanish, French entries add up to 87% of the cohort), which is rare outside selective and independent schools.
Where pupils went after Year 11
Destinations of the 2023 Year 11 leavers, measured the following year: the share in a sustained place for at least two terms. Compared with all state-funded schools in Leicestershire and England.
The Department for Education has not published destination figures for this school (new school, small cohort or not a state-funded school).
