The sample image below shows the data which will be displayed. To view the information for a school you are interested in, visit 'Finding a Secondary School' and click on the links to locate your school. On your school page click on the 'Reports' tab and you will be able to view the information similar to below.
The initial figure in each year shows the number of students who sat the leaving certificate in that year. The number of students who progressed to the different colleges/universities is then displayed followed by the total of number who went to college/university that year. It should be noted that sometimes the number who progressed to college will appear greater than the number who sat the leaving cert. This anomaly arises because in many cases the data provided from the universities/colleges also includes repeat students. It is also important to note that the data does not include information on students who may have progressed to colleges or universities outside of the Republic of Ireland or those who many have taken up apprenticeships or PLC courses. Further notes on the data sources are available by clicking the link below the data on your school page.
Whilst on the school page, you can also view, where available, the Department of Education School Inspection Reports. Links to the available reports are displayed above the college progression data. School data has also been updated to include the latest students number for the school (2010/2011) along with the latest data we have on Principal's names, school email addresses and website links - click on the 'Basics' tab for your school to view this information. If you notice any errors for your school, please email us the updated information to info@schooldays.ie .
