•

• Football Academies continue to rise 7 to 16 (included in other college for summary data)

• Other Sixth form reduced

• BA Sixth Form up 2 from last year

• Would expect Apprenticeship take up post 16 to be low as HAPs aspiring to apprenticeships would more likely opt for degree or higher-level apprenticeships

• 5% drop in BA take up from HAP students (3 HAPs students opted for L3 Computer Science course at Bedford College)

• No HAPs students opted for L3 football Academies

• 2 HAPs students chose Northampton based courses due to location and being a specialist dance college

Local Authority Destination Data

Bedford Borough usually tracks the destinations of young people educated in Bedford Borough up until the age of 18. However, they have not had the staff allocation to complete this. The report usually shows a combination of the destinations of students from the last 2 year 11 cohorts – so this year would be 2018 and 2019 cohorts

Summary of previous year below – will update once report is available

Extracts from Annual Participation and NEET Report for Bedford Borough 2017/18 NEET – Location Analysis

A location analysis of the NEET group in January 2018, shows that the wards of Kingsbrook (11.9%), Castle (10%), West (9.4%) and Goldington (8.8%) have the highest percentage of NEETs.

The wards of Castle and Cauldwell have been in the top 5 wards who have accommodated the highest number of NEETs for the past 5 years. Castle houses majority of the Youth Hostels in Bedford Borough, which means that there are likely to be a high proportion of young people who are NEET living in this area.

Wards with a decrease in the number of NEETs

Although Kingsbrook still remains in the top 5 wards which accommodate the highest number of NEETs, it has seen a decrease this year of 7.8% compared to the previous year.

Cauldwell has also seen a significant decrease of 34.1% compared to January 2017.

Eastcotts, Brickhill and Kempston South have also seen a decrease and now have the lowest figures they have had since January 2012. Educational background of the NEET group

The table below shows the educational background of the current NEET group, the educational background being the compulsory school age status (Year 11 status) of the NEETs. A rag rating has been used to show where the current NEETs have originated from over the past year. Red shows the four schools that have produced the highest number of NEETs, amber shows the four who have produced less and green shows the schools that have produced the least.

The table above does not demonstrate the number of NEETs that each of the upper schools in Bedford has produced, as this is only evident when we compare the number of current NEETs from each school with the actual year group sizes of each school i.e. the year group size of those who left in 2016 and 2017. By doing this, we are able to demonstrate comparably which schools have produced the highest number of NEETs (see table below)
