What the data says
Royal Docks Academy has no sixth form. Of the 167 pupils who finished Year 11 there in 2023, 28% moved to a sixth form college, 36% to a further education college and 1% started an apprenticeship.
GCSE results in 2025 were below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 39.6 against 46.1 across England and 51.2 in Newham, with 41% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
Almost nobody goes straight into an apprenticeship or a job: 1% took an apprenticeship and 1% went into work, against 3% and 3% across England.
As an 11–16 school, Royal Docks Academy is judged on where pupils go at 16 rather than on A level results.
