Leavers' Destinations
We are very proud of our students’ success in applying to Higher Education. Over 90% of leavers progress to University, some going in the Autumn after finishing their A levels and some taking a gap year first.
The Sutton Trust report in 2011 placed us in the top 100 Comprehensive schools in the UK for Oxbridge acceptances, and a comparison of data released by Oxford and Cambridge Universities in the decade from 2013 to 2023 showed that Graveney was the top, Inner London, state school sixth form south of the river for Oxbridge acceptances in this time period, and that our acceptance rates to these two highly competitive universities exceeds rates for the maintained sector. Since 2010, 142 Graveney students have won places at Oxford or Cambridge, an average of nine students a year. In 2025, 50% of our UCAS applicants were accepted at Russell Group Institutions. Graveney students also successfully apply for creative arts programmes at a range of institutions, including Art Colleges and Conservatoires
Almost all sixth form students are successful in their applications to higher education and employment. Students routinely gain places at Oxford, Cambridge and Russell Group universities.
