Post-16 Results Day 2026

We are incredibly proud of this year’s post-16 students who have achieved another strong set of results – 79.5% of A Level grades at A*-C, 53% at A*-B, and 25% at A*-A.  

Their success is the result of two years hard work by students, but also the consistent input of teachers and associate staff who have dedicated a huge amount of time and effort to supporting students over the last two years – a massive thank you to everyone involved in ensuring our sixth formers are successful. 

In English Literature over half, and in Media Studies over 45% of students secured A*/A grades and in both subjects over 80% secured A*-B grades 

In Art, Textiles, English Language, History and Psychology over a third of students secured A*/A grades 

In Politics over 90% of students secured A*-B 

In Textiles and English Language two thirds or more of students secured A*-B grades and in French and Psychology 50% or more of students secured A*-B grades 

In Biology, Chemistry, Drama, Economics, Geography and Maths over a third of students secured A*-B grades 

In Photography, Art, History, Media, Politics and Spanish, 100% of students achieved grades A*-C
