What the data says
Of the 55 pupils who finished Year 11 at Europa School UK in 2023, 80% stayed on in Europa School UK’s own sixth form (Oxfordshire average 45%), 7% went to a further education college and 2% started an apprenticeship.
GCSE results in 2025 were well below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 0.9 against 46.1 across England and 46.4 in Oxfordshire, with 2% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
Among the 42 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 52% went to university (Oxfordshire 28%, England 37%), and 59% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.
Almost every leaver found a sustained destination: only 2% were not in education, work or training six months on, against 6% nationally.
