A-Levels (Sixth Form) Progressions

Education

14 Sept

This data project provides information on A-level enrolment percentages per region and subject in schools in England for 2022-2023.

I started this project to support a relative’s choice of where to study for his A-levels. We had two options: use data to support our decision or ask friends. It turned out to be more complicated than initially thought but highly rewarding. I also wanted to see which schools produce students ending up in Russel group schools (Top UK Universities) or Oxbridge (Oxford or Cambridge). Note that Cambridge and Oxford are both Russel Group schools but considered by most to be at the top of the education food chain.

Read to the end to see an interactive report to explore the data with and video to guide you on how best to use it.

The information is based on data collected via awarding organizations, the school census, and the Individualized Learner Record. Suppression is applied to protect the disclosure of personal information or characteristics. This source data describes the data included in the A-level and other 16 to 18 performances from 2022/23.

Note: Many schools were omitted from the Ministry of Education’s database. This project focuses on the schools reported on.
