What the data says

Inspire Education Group 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.

Among the 2,114 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 14% went to university (Peterborough 29%, England 37%), and 2% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.

A level grades average C, below the England average of B-; 4% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Psychology, Sociology and English Language and Literature.

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 Peterborough and England.
