The figures show the percentage of pupils who had a sustained destination after Key Stage 4, meaning they continued into sixth form, college, an apprenticeship, or a job for at least two terms after leaving school.
Not every pupil can be tracked, as some move abroad, switch to independent provision or otherwise leave the state system, so the percentages are based only on pupils with a confirmed destination.
Below is a table showing Bromley mainstream secondary schools, the number of pupils in each Year 11 cohort, and the percentage who stayed in education, employment or training after GCSEs.
A school’s percentage does not always reflect its overall quality, as factors such as selectivity, intake, pupil mobility and cohort size can affect the results.
Schools with larger year groups have a greater impact on the borough average than those with smaller cohorts.
Across England, the sustained destination rate for state‑funded schools is around nine in ten pupils, meaning Bromley’s stronger performers are broadly in line with – or above – the national picture for post‑GCSE progression.
Several of the borough’s largest secondary schools record destination rates in the mid‑90s, meaning the vast majority of their pupils go on to further education, apprenticeships or work after Year 11.
This places Bromley among the better‑performing areas in England for post‑GCSE progression, with most pupils continuing in education, training or employment after finishing secondary school.
