Leavers’ Destinations

Over the last fifteen years, Bancroft’s has consistently sent almost all of our Upper Sixth students to the leading universities in the UK and North America, including Oxbridge and Russell Group Universities.

An increasing number of students have gained places on highly competitive degree apprenticeship programmes with the likes of Dyson, PWC, and JP Morgan.

Others choose to enter directly into employment or take a gap year that usually involves some charitable/volunteering work overseas.

The post-18 options are increasing every year and our Careers Office can provide extensive and detailed guidance on all available options.

The most popular courses were: Economics (15); Medicine (15); Law (12), Computer Science (10); Geography (8); Engineering (7); and History (7). Increasingly, pupils are opting for courses that include industry placements or an explicit vocational element, reflecting the importance of workplace experience.

Around 80% of pupils attend the top 25 UK universities (as ranked by the Complete Universities Guide), reflecting the aspirations of our students and their high academic achievement.

Notably, one student has earned a full bursary to study voice at the prestigious Royal College of Music, while another has secured a highly sought-after degree apprenticeship with Kier Group.

Degree Apprenticeships

A growing number of pupils are also opting for the Degree Apprenticeship route, and we have had significant success in recent years supporting pupils applying for some of the most competitive Degree Apprenticeship programmes.

These include programmes at EY, Deloitte, JP Morgan, JLL, Goldman Sachs, Dyson, Jaguar Land Rover, and Arup. Four pupils in 2023 chose to take up their offer of a degree apprenticeship over a university offer.

One student accepted a place with Kier Group for a degree apprenticeship in 2024.
