Statistical First Release

DESTINATIONS OF KEY STAGE 4 AND KEY STAGE 5 PUPILS, 2009/10 OSR13/2012 17 July 2012 Coverage: England Theme: Children, Education and Skills INTRODUCTION This Statistical Release on Education Destination Measures shows the percentage of students progressing to further learning in a school, Further Education or 6th Form College, Apprenticeship, work based learning provider or Higher Education Institution. Two destination measures are being introduced to show the destinations of young people the year after KS4 and the year after taking A level or equivalent qualifications (KS5):

These are experimental statistics.

The Key Stage 4 Measure is based on activity at academic age 16 (i.e. the year after the young person finished compulsory schooling) The Key Stage 5 Measure is based on activity in the year after the young person took their A Level or equivalent qualification/s

To be included in the Measure, young people have to show sustained participation in an education destination in all of the first two terms of the year after they completed KS4 or took A level or equivalent qualifications. The first two terms is defined as October to March.

The statistics are published as "Experimental Statistics" and do not display the National Statistics Logo. They are still being evaluated and remain subject to further testing to determine their reliability and ability to meet customer needs. The figures should be treated with caution as this is the first year for which such data have been produced. As improvements are made to the methodology, data quality will be assessed to establish whether the statistics meet the quality standards for National Statistics. DESTINATIONS IN THE YEAR AFTER TAKING KEY STAGE 4, 2009/10, National (Table 1) 85% of young people were recorded as being in a sustained education destination in the year after Key Stage 4 o School Sixth Form (36% of young people) and Further Education College (33%) were the most popular destinations 12% of young people were studying in a Sixth Form College 4% were taking an Apprenticeship in these institutions

In order to improve data accessibility, underlying data will be published on 17 July 2012 in the Publications Underlying Data section. This will include the numbers going to an education destination at National, LA and Institution level for KS4 and KS5. Additional information and underlying data will be published at: http://www.education.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/STA/t001076/index.shtml EVALUATION OF THE DATA (by 1 October 2012) In order for the Department to meet user needs it is essential that we capture feedback from those who access the data. One approach we use to obtain the views and opinions from our users is the Evaluation questionnaire. This questionnaire provides the opportunity for our users to share their views on how the first release of Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 Destination Measures has met their needs, how the Statistical First release/technical note could be developed and analysis you would ideally like to see incorporated into the next release. The link to the questionnaire is below. Please complete before 1 October 2012. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SXFDKWC RELATED PUBLICATIONS DfE: Participation in Education, Training and Employment by 16-18 Year Olds in England, end 2011 http://www.education.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/SFR/s001072/index.shtml

TECHNICAL NOTES A detailed technical note is published alongside the Statistical First Release at http://www.education.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/STA/t001076/index.shtml Experimental Statistics 1. This is the first publication on Destination Measures and is classified as experimental sstatistics as the data are still being evaluated and remain subject to further testing in terms of their reliability and ability to meet customer needs. The data should be treated with caution as this is the first year for which such data have been produced. Cohort 2. This SFR reports on young people in Key Stage 4 (KS4) and Key Stage 5 (KS5) in the 2008/09 academic year and identifies their education destinations in the 2009/10 academic year. KS4 The 2008/09 cohort is obtained from the published Performance Tables (PT) where Young people are identified as being at the end of KS4. In the majority of schools, pupils in Year 11 in the 2008/09 school year were at the end of KS4, but some may have completed this Key Stage in an earlier or later year group.

The base cohort includes students in English Maintained Mainstream schools only. KS5 The 2008/09 cohort is obtained from the published Performance Tables where Young people aged 16, 17 or 18, were entered for A levels or other Level 3 equivalent qualifications during the 2008/2009 academic year; this is otherwise referred to as Key Stage 5.

The qualifications included in the tables are on the basis of their equivalence with A levels; A qualification's 'equivalence' is quantified by looking at its size and the level of challenge it poses compared to an A level. An AS is a Level 3 qualification but students only get included in the cohort if they have undertaken a qualification equivalent to the size of an A-level The Destination Measures KS5 cohort is for Maintained Mainstream schools plus the addition of Further Education Colleges and Sixth Form Colleges. Time Lag 3. Creation of the Destination Measures requires higher education (HESA) data to be matched to the pupil data in the National Pupil Database. The HESA data used in this Release are for the academic year 2009/10 and these are the most recent data to have been matched. This publication is therefore reporting on 2008/09 KS4 and KS5 (A level or equivalent qualification/s) students who went on to education destinations in 2009/10. Data sources 4. For this publication, data from the National Pupil Database (NPD) has been used. The NPD is a longitudinal database linking pupil/student characteristics (eg age, gender, ethnicity) to school and college learning aims and attainment information for children in schools in England. Three administrative data sources used in compiling the NPD have been used to determine the education destinations, namely: Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) covering United Kingdom Higher Education Institutions

Individualised Learner Record (ILR) covering English colleges and Further Education providers School Census (SC) covering English schools

Russell Group Universities 5. The Russell Group, as at June 2009, comprised: University of Birmingham University of Bristol University of Cambridge Cardiff University University of Edinburgh University of Glasgow Imperial College London King's College London University of Leeds University of Liverpool London School of Economics & Political Science University of Manchester Newcastle University University of Nottingham University of Oxford Queen's University Belfast University of Sheffield University of Southampton University College London University of Warwick Suppression 6. For any institutions where the total number of students in the 2008/09 cohort is fewer than 6, all data have been suppressed. For breakdowns of students, any numbers of fewer than 3 have been suppressed, being replaced in the table by an x. Where the numerator of a percentage is fewer than 3, this has been suppressed and replaced by an x. All totals have been rounded to the nearest 10 to ensure individuals can not be identified. Where any number is shown as zero (0), the original figure was also zero. Symbols used in the publication The following symbols have been used in this publication: 0 - zero x - small number suppressed to preserve confidentiality . - not applicable

Individual lines may not add up to totals as there is a small number of students who were identified in more than one destination. 4. Other Further Education Providers includes students undertaking Further Education provision at a Higher Education Institution 5. All Apprenticeships and Work Based Learning are also reported in the Further Education College, Other Further Education Provider, School Sixth Form and Sixth Form College lines. 6. The Higher Education Institution (HEI) percentage includes UK Higher Education Institutions only. 7. School/College combination means the student fulfilled the October to March participation criteria but through more than one type of education destination. 8. 'Education destination not sustained' means the student did not have continuous participation in education destinations from October to March. 9. 'Not captured in data' means the young person was not found in an education destination. Possible reasons for this could be that the young person was in employment, not in employment, education or training (NEET), on a gap year, left the country, or attending a Scottish or Welsh college or school.

Source: National Pupil Database 1. Number of students in the 2008/09 KS4 cohort. 2. Includes students who have been in a sustained education destination for the first two terms, October to March. 3. Individual lines may not add up to totals as there is a small number of students who were identified in more than one destination. 4. Other Further Education Providers includes students undertaking Further Education provision at a Higher Education Institution. 5. All Apprenticeships and Work Based Learning are also reported in the Further Education College, Other Further Education Provider, School Sixth Form and Sixth Form College lines. Apprenticeships and Work Based Learning are identified where any qualifying learning has occurred at any time during the October to March participation period. 6. The Higher Education Institution (HEI) percentage includes UK Higher Education Institutions only. 7. School/College combination means the student fulfilled the October to March participation criteria but through more than one type of education destination. 8. 'Education destination not sustained' means the student did not have continuous participation in education destinations from October to March. 9. 'Not captured in data' means the young person was not found in an education destination. Possible reasons for this could be that the young person was in employment, not in employment, education or training (NEET), on a gap year, left the country, or attending a Scottish or Welsh college or school. x means the data has been suppressed as the school or college has fewer than 6 students in a particular denominator, or small numbers for the numerator (1s and 2s). Results are not shown because of the risk of an individual student being identified. All totals have been rounded to the nearest 10. Zeros are shown as zeros. See Technical Note for further detail. "." means that there are no pupils in the cohort for this LA.

1. These are students who are mostly academic age 17. There is also a small number of students of academic age 16 and 18 in the cohort. 2. This includes all level 3 qualifications ie. general or applied A levels, AS examinations or equivalent level 3 qualifications. 3. Number of students in the 2008/09 KS5 cohort. 4. Includes students who have been in a sustained education destination for the first two terms, October to March. 5. Individual lines may not add up to totals as there is a small number of students who were identified in more than one destination. 6. Other Further Education Providers includes students undertaking Further Education provision at a Higher Education Institution. 7. All Apprenticeships and Work Based Learning are also reported in the Further Education College, Other Further Education Provider, School Sixth Form and Sixth Form College lines. Apprenticeships and Work Based Learning are identified where any qualifying learning has occurred at any time during the October to March participation period. 8. The Higher Education Institution (HEI) percentage includes UK Higher Education Institutions only. 9. Russell Group as at 2009 includes Higher Education Institutions shown in the Technical Note. 10. Other Higher Education Providers includes students undertaking Higher Education provision at a Further Education College. 11. School/College/HEI combination means the student fulfilled the October to March participation criteria but through more than one type of education destination. 12. 'Education destination not sustained' means the student did not have continuous participation in education destinations from October to March. 13. 'Not captured in data' means the young person was not found in an education destination. Possible reasons for this could be that the young person was in employment, not in employment, education or training (NEET), on a gap year, left the country, or attending a Scottish or Welsh college or school. x means the data has been suppressed as the school or college has fewer than 6 students in a particular denominator, or small numbers for the numerator (1s and 2s). Results are not shown because of the risk of an individual student being identified. All totals have been rounded to the nearest 10. Zeros are shown as zeros. See Technical Note for further detail. "." means that there are no pupils in the cohort for this LA.
