FE Providers to HE conversion

Data is for 2021 leavers.

FE Providers by subject

Here we can the number of exam entries for the 2023-24 academic year for each school in each subject area. Totals include

  • AS exams
  • A2 exams
  • Non-academic qualifications.

Please select a subject area before trying to interpret the map - the default is “all” which is almost impossible to parse.

Further work

From the public data set we can:

  • Look at distributions of grades per school per subject.
  • Calculate “typical commute duration” to MDX from each school.
  • Look at the proportion of each school that goes on to “Russell Group + Oxbridge” at HE.

Combining with our internal data we can see

  • The proportion of the school who apply to MDX.
  • The proportion of each subject area that apply to each subject at MDX.
