What the data says
The Department for Education has not published where Atam Academy’s Year 11 leavers went next, so this page relies on the school’s results and subjects.

Business Studies is unusually popular at GCSE: 62% of the year group took it, against 18% of pupils across England.

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