What the data says
The Department for Education has not published where Leigh Academy Bexley’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 35.4 against 46.1 across England and 50.6 in Bexley, with 27% of pupils getting grade 5 or above in both English and maths (England 45%).
Statistics is unusually popular at GCSE: 33% of the year group took it, against 5% of pupils across England.
Languages are a small part of the curriculum here: entries in French add up to 1% of the year group, and 4% of pupils entered the full EBacc set of subjects (England 41%).
