Multi-stage Pathways

Plan beyond one decision point.

The platform now treats `Primary`, `Prep`, `Senior School`, and `University` as one continuous pathway model. The live data remains strongest at the senior school and university stages, while earlier stages are now integrated as formal planning layers.

How to read: Hover any node to see probability labels on every connected edge — e.g. 14.8% of St John's Beaumont pupils go to Eton, 32% of Winchester leavers go to Cambridge. Click any school name to open its detail page. Link thickness = pupil count.
Methodology & coverage
  • Prep → Senior (left → middle): Each link shows the cumulative number of leavers a prep has sent to a given senior school over the most recent 5–9 years (most schools publish a 6-year rolling total). Data is extracted from each prep's public "Where do leavers go / Future schools / Destination schools" page or annual PDF and manually reviewed. Confidence labels: verified (precise per-year counts), verified-list (school publishes the destination list but not pupil counts — values are placeholder weights), training-knowledge (estimate used when the school's page is inaccessible).
  • Senior → University (middle → right): Each link shows the actual number of pupils from that senior school admitted to the university in a single recent year (most rows are 2023/24 or 2024/25), sourced from each school's annual UCAS-style destinations report. The top N universities are kept by total flow.
  • Visual scaling when a prep is focused: When a single prep is selected, senior→university links are scaled by (prep → senior count) / (senior's total university outflow). Every link width then represents the expected number of that prep's pupils ending up at each university, rather than the senior school's entire cohort.
  • Preps with verified per-year counts (11): Summer Fields, Ludgrove, The Pilgrims', Papplewick, Cheam, St John's Beaumont, Thomas's Battersea, Sandroyd, Westbourne House, Cottesmore, Lockers Park. Verified-list (published list, no counts): Highfield & Brookham, Holmewood House. Remaining preps are shown with training-knowledge estimates.

The first feeder dataset is now in the API.

The platform now stores real prep-school pathway edges and evidence separately from the senior-school university layer. This keeps the early-stage expansion honest while still making the first official feeder samples queryable.

Single-student long-term path

This foundation view shows how the product will handle multi-year student planning. The earlier phases are now part of the product model, even though live structured data is still concentrated later in the path.

What this means nowPrimary and Prep stages are now integrated as planning layers in the product, but they do not yet have scaled structured school data.Senior School and University stages are the current evidence-backed live segment of the platform.Current live sample includes 9755 senior-phase schools in the local dataset.Current structured destination edge count is 2369.
