A-level Performance
Redbridge councils are addressing A-level performance, which a July 2025 report found to be below the national average, with a strategy to improve outcomes.
A report presented to the Education Scrutiny Sub-Committee in July 2025 indicated Redbridge's A-level performance was below the national average. This report, outlining the 2024-2025 strategy for improving A-Level outcomes, noted that while subjects like maths, psychology, and economics matched the London average, there was a noticeable gap in biology, chemistry, physics, and government and politics.
To address the identified underperformance, the Sixth Form Strategy Group was scheduled to extend invitations to Academies with low outcomes from September 2025. A-levels are subject-based qualifications taken by students completing secondary or pre-university education, which permit access to university.
