Post 16

Of the 2,896 Year 11 leavers in 2007 (Activity Survey 2007 – Year 11 Leavers in Tower Hamlets), just under 87 per cent went on to further learning in the form of:

• full time education (80.5 per cent)
• work-based training (4.6 per cent) 
• employment with training (1.8 per cent)

This represents a rise of more than 7 per cent over the previous two years.

Of those going on to full time education (2331), 61 per cent did so within Tower Hamlets. Proportionally more girls than boys stayed on in full time education, respectively 84.2 per cent and 77.3 per cent.

Students of Bangladeshi origin comprised 52 per cent of the Year 11 cohort and 56 per cent of those going into full time education.

NEET (Not in education, employment or training) unemployed represented the largest non-learning destination for 5.2 per cent of the cohort.
