In 2024-25, 15 pupils were single rolled at CEDARS Short Stay School.  4 pupils (26.7%) were girls and 11 pupils (73.3%) were boys. All year 11 pupils sat at least two exams, either at CEDARS or with an Alternative Provider. 93.3% of those sitting exams achieved at least one qualification. All pupils in the CEDARS base achieved a portfolio of AQA Unit Awards.

13 pupils were entered for GCSE English Language and 11 pupils passed (84.6%). 12 pupils were entered for Functional Skills Level 1 English and 11 pupils passed (91.7%).

13 pupils sat the GCSE Maths exam and 9 pupils passed (69.2%). 3 pupils were entered for Functional Skills Maths Level 1 and 2 pupils passed (66.7%).

Pupils also achieved passes in Art & Design, Biology, Hospitality & Catering, Applied Science and Sport.

There were no pupils with an EHCP sitting exams this academic year.

The key indicator for Y11 success is NEET (Not in Education, Education or Training) prevention as all PRU pupils are regarded as ‘high RONI‘ (Risk Of Neet Index). All leavers (100%) had a year 12 destination arranged by July 2025. The CEDARS SSS measurement of NEET/non-NEET is to check whether pupils are attending education/training during the last week of September and is not a presumed destination figure.
