Percentage of key stage 4 pupils in sustained education, apprenticeship or employment (4686) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the percentage of key stage 4 (KS4) cohort at all state-funded mainstream schools going to an education, apprenticeship or employment destination. KS4 destination measures follow pupils who were at the end of KS4 study (GCSE and equivalent qualifications). In the majority of schools, students are in year 11, but some may have completed this key stage in an earlier or later year group.
To be counted in a destination, young people have to have sustained participation for a 6 month period in the destination year.
As of 2013/14 destinations include the first cohort of young people required to remain in education or training in compliance with raising the participation age, therefore comparisons with earlier periods should be treated with caution.
State-funded mainstream schools include community schools, voluntary aided schools, voluntary controlled schools, foundation schools, academies, free schools, city technology colleges and further education colleges with provision for 14 to 16-year-olds.
Timeliness of data: There is a time lag between students completing their key stage and destination measures being published. A year has to elapse and datasets have to be combined before measuring sustained participation in education or training, which causes this time lag.
