What the data says

The Department for Education has not published where Fulbrook School’s Year 11 leavers went next, so this page relies on the school’s results and subjects.

Media Studies is unusually popular at GCSE: 23% of the year group took it, against 4% of pupils across England.

GCSE results in 2025 were below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 42.9 against 46.1 across England and 43.6 in Central Bedfordshire, with 37% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).

Where pupils went after Year 11

The Department for Education has not published destination figures for this school (new school, small cohort or not a state-funded school).
