The government will no longer measure schools in England on how many of their students go to Russell Group or Oxbridge universities, in an effort to encourage school leavers towards a wider range of universities and vocational options.
The Department for Education’s updated accountability measures for students aged 16 to 18 state that the department will not include the percentage of school leavers who progress to Russell Group universities, or to Oxford and Cambridge universities, as part of each school’s student destinations data.
