Results 2026

Congratulations to all students who have received their Post 16 and GCSE results this summer.

GCSE students have performed brilliantly and have achieved results which reflect their hard work throughout their education. This follows on from a strong set of Post 16 results where students have secured places at University, as well as Higher Level Apprenticeships and employment. We are hugely proud of all the students who have received their grades this summer. They have achieved a great set of results that will enable them to progress to the next stage, we look forward to welcoming many back into the sixth form in September. For those moving on to University, and other opportunities, we wish them the best of luck for the future.

Destinations

University

89% of our university applicants secured their first-choice university. They went on to study at a wide range of top universities across the country, from Medicine, Engineering, and Computer Science to English, Politics, and the Creative Arts.

Highlights include offers from Cambridge, Imperial, Warwick, Bath, Bristol, Nottingham, Exeter and other Russell Group universities.

In fact, 47% of our students progressed to the prestigious Russell Group (the UK’s top research-led universities) – well above the national average.

Alongside these, many students have chosen specialist institutions such as Arts University Bournemouth, Italia Conti (Musical Theatre), and UCFB (Football Business), showing the breadth of ambition and opportunity across our cohort.

From highly competitive courses like Medicine, Law, and Architecture, to creative and vocational pathways, our students are thriving in their chosen next steps.

Apprenticeships

9 of our students have secured Higher Level Apprenticeships. These apprenticeships enable students to work and study at the same time to achieve a degree. This year we have students who have taken up apprenticeships at Virgin Media, Drumacross, MBDA, Police, Microsoft, Rathbones Group and BW Workplace Experts. We have had a focus on supporting students in gaining apprenticeships over the last few years and are delighted with the increasing number of students gaining these opportunities. In previous years we have also had students secure apprenticeships from The BBC, Sky, Dyson, Ryan Air, Cancer Research UK, HG construction in the role of a Quantity Surveyor, IBM, Pfizer, BMW, Chartered Management with AON, Civil Service for Apprentice Economist and Catapult Cell and Gene Therapy.
