BAKER CLAUSE POLICY STATEMENT
KEY STAGE 2, 4 AND 5 PERFORMANCE DATA
Key Stage 5 Performance Data (16-18)
16 to 18
16 to 18 data is not available for this school or college, this is normally for one of the following reasons:
- The school or college recently changed school type (for example, became an academy) or re-opened after the closure of a previous school. In these cases, the 2023 data will be found on the former school or college page.
- The school or college had no students who completed 16 to 18 studies in 2023 - for example, because the school or college is new and pupils have so far only completed the first few years of their studies.
