Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many school leavers in Redcar and Cleveland who were (a) entitled and (b) not entitled to free school meals went to university in the last three years for which information is available.
The table below shows information on the number and percentage of students completing key stage 5 (e.g. A level) study in mainstream state funded schools and colleges and progressing to study at a UK Higher Education Institution for at least two terms the following year; in each of the last three years for which information is available.
Numbers of pupils are shown rounded to the nearest ten, as published. Percentages are calculated on unrounded figures.
In the latest year around 50 students in Redcar & Cleveland who had been eligible for free school meals in year 11, or 55% of the key stage 5 cohort, progressed to Higher Education. This compares with 38% of pupils elsewhere in the North East and 44% of free school meal eligible students nationally.
In the latest year around 490 students in Redcar & Cleveland who had not been recorded as eligible for free school meals in year 11, or 55% of the key stage 5 cohort, progressed to Higher Education. This compares with 51% of pupils elsewhere in the North East and 49% of non-eligible students nationally.
Information on pupil destinations is published annually on gov.uk at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-destinations
