The proportion of young people in Camden (who were in Camden aged 15)
reaching attainment level 2 and level 3 by age 19 has risen, against a year on
year increase nationally.

High levels of young people staying in education,
employment or training
Year 11
pupils
The proportion of year 11
pupils staying on in
education or training remains
steady at 94% (compared to
95% in 2008/09).
Year 13
pupils
The proportion of year 13
pupils going on to higher
education, employment or
training also remain steady,
at 89% (the same as in
2008/9.
753 pupils (74%) went to
university, though 142 of
these planned on having a
gap year before starting their
studies in autumn 2011
Youth
unemployment
The monthly claimant count
shows a lower % of young
people aged 16-24 were
unemployed in March 2011
(11.5%) compared with
March 2010 (20.4%) and a
reduction on March 2009
(16.9%). The gap between
the rate for 16-24s and all
ages has also fallen over the
same period (14.5% higher
in March 2010, 6.2% higher
in March 2011).
Alternative provision: Alongside the 9 school sixth forms, Camden also
has an FE college (Westminster Kingsway) and number of work-based
learning providers.

There are variations in number of young people
not in education, employment and training
(NEETs)
•
The number of NEET young people varies through the year; though for the last few
years we have maintained low figures, equating to around 250-300 young people. There
is great deal of mobility ‘within’ this figure, with 33% of the March 2011 NEET cohort
being ‘long term NEET’ (more than 200 days) (compared to 34% in Inner London).
The proportion of 16-18 year olds in Camden who are NEET has increased recently
(from 5.5% to 6.4%) and this is now above the national and London average. The
number of NEETs is lower, and the increase in proportion is the result of changes to the
wider cohort (a reduction in cohort size), e.g. young people moving away or attending
education outside of the borough.

are offered unlimited access to the governor training programme, which includes a full governor induction, a wide
range of taught sessions throughout the academic year and, since September 2010, subscription to the “Modern
