What the data says
Harris Federation Post 16 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 1,091 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 62% went to university (Croydon 43%, England 37%), and 13% 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-. The largest A level subjects are Psychology, Mathematics and Biology.
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 Croydon and England.
The Department for Education has not published destination figures for this school (new school, small cohort or not a state-funded school).
