4 5-YEAR TRENDS YEAR 11 The total Year 11 cohort has dropped by nearly 13% since The percentage of pupils staying in education has increased significantly from 76% in 2007 to 84% in However the figures represent an actual decrease in numbers of 45, from 1379 to The distribution of pupils between school and college has remained fairly consistent. Around 55% have continued in school but the percentage continuing in college has increased somewhat from 21% in 2007 to 27% in Girls represent a greater percentage of those continuing in full-time education than their male counterparts throughout. This gap has closed quite significantly in the 5-year period with a difference of 7.6% in 2007 to one of 1.3% this year. The percentage of the cohort entering non-employed Work Based Training has decreased slightly from 5.1% in 2007 to 4.4% in 2011 with the actual number entering Work Based Training decreasing from 93 to 70. The numbers entering employment have continued to fall from 74 in 2007 to 17 this year. The NEETs figure has reduced steadily over the 5-year period from just over 7% in 2007 to this year s figure 4.4%. This can be explained in part by the increased numbers continuing in education and is a similar percentage to neighbouring UA areas.

7 5-YEAR TRENDS YEAR 13 The percentage of the cohort continuing in some form of full-time education has decreased over the period from 79% in 2007 to 75% in This decrease can all be accounted for in the decrease in those entering HE down from 59.4% in 2007 to 53.3% in The percentage of those continuing in school and college (rather than progressing to HE) has increased slightly during the 5-year period. The rise has been just over 2% from 19.5% to 21.7%. Progression to Higher Education in Bridgend has actually dropped to a 5-year low this year and represents a drop of 6% since The percentage of young men progressing to HE may be a cause for concern given that our data shows a decrease of over 13% from a high of 58.3% in 2008 to this year s figure of 44.8%. The same figures for young women in Bridgend show a decline of 8% since However the proportion of young women going into HE (61%) remains significantly higher than the proportion of young men (45%).
