The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of 16 year olds in Knowsley study A-levels after GCSEs.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The department publishes data on entry and attainment for students at the end of 16 to 18 study. For the 2024/25 academic year, the latest for which data is available, 79 students in schools or colleges in Knowsley were at the end of 16 to 18 study, of which 3 (3.8%) had entered A levels.

However, from Individualised Learned Record and School Census data, a further 2,416 students from Knowsley were undertaking A-level learning aims in this year.
