What the data says

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

GCSE results in 2025 were well below the national picture: Attainment 8 of 7.8 against 46.1 across England and 42.5 in Shropshire, with 0% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).

Where pupils went after Year 11

Destinations of the 2023 Year 11 leavers, measured the following year: the share in a sustained place for at least two terms. Compared with all state-funded schools in Shropshire and England.

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

Progress 8 is not available for 2025 and 2026: these cohorts had no Key Stage 2 tests in 2020 and 2021, so there is no baseline. Attainment 8 shows results without taking pupils’ starting points into account.
