What the data says
Sir George Monoux College is a 16–19 provider, so there is no Year 11 cohort: this page covers where its students went after 16–18 study and what they achieved.
GCSE results in 2025 were well below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 7.2 against 46.1 across England and 45.3 in Waltham Forest, with 3% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
Among the 713 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 49% went to university (Waltham Forest 42%, England 37%), and 7% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.
A level grades average C-, well below the England average of B-; 1% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Sociology, Law and Psychology.
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 Waltham Forest and England.
The Department for Education has not published destination figures for this school (new school, small cohort or not a state-funded school).
