University Destinations
Seven out of every ten pupils achieve their first choice university
More than 95 per cent of leavers go on to university, while others might opt for an art foundation course or drama college, and some might go directly into a degree apprenticeship. Eighty-five per cent of pupils achieved their first-choice university in 2024. Eighteen students have gone to Oxbridge over the past four years.
The College’s care for pupils extends well beyond their time at the college and each year some 20 former pupils are supported through university application, work experience and mentoring.
