What the data says

Of the 40 pupils who finished Year 11 at Bank View High School in 2023, 0% stayed on in Bank View High School’s own sixth form (Liverpool average 46%), 23% went to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.

Almost nobody goes straight into an apprenticeship or a job: none took an apprenticeship and none went into work, against 3% and 3% across England.

Bank View High School is a special school: its GCSE figures (Attainment 8 of 9.3, 3% with grade 5 or above in English and maths) are published by DfE for completeness and are not comparable with mainstream schools.
