We are committed to ensuring that all our students have every opportunity which is available to them when they leave Cromwell. 2024 was a superb year for our Year 13 students in terms of attainment with 60% of the Year 13 cohort in total applying to university.

This year our students have chosen to read Pharmacy, Business Management, Law, Psychology and Wildlife, Ecology and Conservation, to name a few. The rest of our students gained employment or are having a gap year. Our students have secured degree apprenticeships with Cheffins as a trainee surveyor and another with Maxi Grounds, in the housing market. Stainless Metal Craft have also employed one of our students for an engineering apprenticeship. None of our students fall into the NEET category.
