At Lavington school students are well supported in identifying appropriate next steps and the number of students that are NEET is very low, the school employs an impartial careers advisor. In 2020 72% of students who attended sixth form and applied to university achieved their first choices. From the summer 2021 65% of the year 13 cohort went onto university with all students receiving either their first or reserve choice, 72% first choice. Students went onto courses as diverse as Cyber Security and Midwifery but also into more traditional areas such as English Literature, Biometric Science, Engineering, Paramedic Science, Computing and Psychology. From the same cohort we had students taking up apprenticeships including local opportunities but also with prestigious employers nationally e.g. Ernst & Young.

GCSE Results 2021

In 2021 students were awarded grades using Teacher Assessed Grades. A copy of the schools published Centre Policy for awarding Teacher Assessed Grades can be viewed by clicking on the link below.

Centre Policy

As a school we were very proud of the efforts of the 2021 Year 11 cohort who worked though very challenging circumstances to achieve some excellent grades. The pupils were incredibly resilient and deserve the fantastic results they achieved.

Overall standard passes in English & Maths increased slightly to 84.7% with a similar increase in the number of pupils achieving a strong pass in English and Maths at 65%. 19.7% of students achieved grade 7-9 in English in Maths.

The progress of pupil premium students was strong with 16 pupils out of 16 pupils achieving 5 standard passed including English & Maths with an average grade of 5.56. Progress of SEND pupils was slightly lower when compared to other pupils but still strong compared to with an average grade of 4.66. 15 of the 24 SEND pupils with targets of 4+ in English and Maths achieved the standard pass with 9 out of 14 achieving a strong pass (5+).

GCSE Results 2020

Please note that results for 2020 were determined by centre assessed grades.

At Lavington School we were delighted that our Year 11 pupils have achieved excellent results, recognising all of the hard work and achievement over their five years of secondary education. In 2020, results were awarded based on centre assessed grades, which does not detract from the great outcomes for our young people, which was in line with the excellent performance of Lavington pupils shown over the preceding three years.

Standard passes in both Maths and English were achieved by 82 per cent of all students with 63 per cent achieved strong passes in English and Maths, both showing a slight increase from 2019 results. 81 percent of all pupils gained passes in 5 qualifications, including English and Maths. The number of top grades awarded across subjects rose once again, with 40 per cent of all our grades at 7 or above. We are very proud of all our students who have worked so hard to exceed their expectations.
