CEDARS Short Stay School

Exams

SUMMER LEAVERS 2026

In 2025-26, 20 pupils were single rolled at CEDARS Short Stay School.  50% of pupils were girls and 50% were boys. All year 11 pupils were entered for at least two GCSE qualifications, either at CEDARS or with an Alternative Provider. 85.0% of those sitting exams achieved at least two qualifications at a grade 1 pass or above.

19 pupils were entered for GCSE English Language and 17  pupils achieved a grade 1 or higher (89.5%). 19 pupils were entered for GCSE Mathematics and 14 pupils achieved a grade 1 or higher (73.7%). Pupils also achieved passes in GCSE Art & Design, GCSE Biology, GCSE History, Vocational Level 1 Hospitality & Catering and Sports Science.

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). 14 leavers (70%) had a year 12 destination arranged by September 2026. The CEDARS’s 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.
