Unsurprisingly the vast majority of St. Clare's graduates go to university
as the next step in their career. The majority of these are UK universities,
whilst others are international, each place reflecting the interests,
abilities and aspirations of students. Other students develop their personal
skills and interests by taking a 'gap' year in which to travel, work or
volunteer and thus improve their career prospects prior to continuing
in education. The list of university destinations in 2005 is impressive,
reflecting the remarkable academic success of the 2005 graduates.
