What the data says

Leeds Jewish Free School has no sixth form. Of the 25 pupils who finished Year 11 there in 2023, 8% moved to a sixth form college, 48% to a further education college and none started an apprenticeship.

GCSE results in 2025 were well above the national picture: Attainment 8 of 55.2 against 46.1 across England and 45.5 in Leeds, with 59% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).

Most pupils take the three separate sciences: at least 63% sat Biology, Chemistry and Physics as individual GCSEs, compared with about 23% nationally.

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.
