Freedom of Information Request: independent students at colleges
Hello,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the following information:
1. Please provide the number of students who started their sixth form studies broken down by feeder school type (or the school attended before college) for the academic years 2017-18 to 2023-24 inclusive. Please also provide a combined figure for the whole period - especially if individual years are redacted due to identification reasons. These school types are:
a) State-funded (including academies)
b) Independent schools
2. For the combined period of 2017-18 to 2022-23, please provide the number of applications made by students for university broken down by university and by feeder school type (or the school attended before college). These school types are:
a) State-funded (including academies)
b) Independent schools
3. For the combined period of 2017-18 to 2022-23, please provide the number of offers made to students by universities broken down by university and by feeder school type (or the school attended before college). These school types are:
a) State-funded (including academies)
b) Independent schools
4. For the combined period of 2017-18 to 2022-23, please provide the university destinations of students, broken down by university and by feeder school type (or the school attended before college). These school types are:
a) State-funded (including academies)
b) Independent schools
Please note that if the figures are unattainable due to time constraints, I would like the figures for as many years possible, starting with 2023-24 as the priority, followed by 2022-23, 2021-22 etc.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should any aspect of my request require clarification. Please note that under Section 16 requires you to provide applicants with reasonable advice and assistance in order to access the relevant information.
Yours faithfully,
Benjamin Butcher
Dear Mr Butcher
Please find attached a spreadsheet giving answers to your four questions for Sparsholt College Group. In the cases of questions 2 and 3, we do not have any records for the years that are missing from the tables, so I have nothing to disclose for those years. Hopefully the years that are present will give sufficient information for the general picture.
I have chosen not to redact small numbers from the statistics on the basis that the overall picture would be obscured and the chances of identifying individuals from the data are very remote.

Dear Mr Butcher
My apologies for this, but on using the data published to you for another purpose I realised that there were some duplicated records double-counted in the answer to Question 4 in the 2020-21 academic year. The attached file corrects this error.
thanks
