The Long Eaton Schools validated Key Stage 4 performance for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 can be seen in the table that follows below.
These outcomes mean that the vast majority of our students can progress on to their first choice of post 16 study, which for many will be our own sixth form. Others will progress on to local colleges in Derby, Nottingham and Loughborough to undertake a variety of courses.
