Destinations Data

We are proud of the positive destinations our students achieve after leaving our school. Our destinations data shows that nearly all of our students move on to education, employment, or training, including sixth form, college, apprenticeships, and university.

We carefully track and analyse destinations data to ensure that students are well prepared for their next steps and that our careers programme meets the needs of all learners. This information helps us identify strengths, address any gaps, and continually improve the guidance and opportunities we provide.

By using destinations data alongside student voice and employer feedback, we ensure that careers education at our school is ambitious, inclusive, and responsive, supporting every student to make informed choices about their future.

NEETs
NEET stands for Not in Education, Employment, or Training. It’s a term used to describe young people who are currently not enrolled in school or college, not working, and not taking part in training – and as such is an important measure. Please see below the NEET figures for Orchard Mead Academy from recent years. These figures compare to a local authority average of 6% and a national average of 6% (both 2023 figures) also.
