We are delighted to celebrate another very strong set of A Level and Level 3 results and would like to congratulate our Year 13 students on their hard work, commitment and success. These outcomes reflect two years of dedication, resilience and determination from a cohort who have approached their studies with maturity and ambition

Students have once again secured impressive outcomes across a broad range of academic and vocational qualifications. We are particularly pleased that our students have maintained our tradition of high attainment, achieving an average grade of a B across 479 entries. Many students exceeded their targeted outcomes, demonstrating exceptional commitment during the final months of their courses.

What is particularly pleasing is the progress made by students throughout their time in the Sixth Form. The results achieved are not simply a reflection of prior attainment, but of the sustained effort, perseverance and determination shown by students as they prepared for their final examinations.

Our students have once again secured an impressive range of top grades:

• 35% of grades awarded at A*/A
• 64% of grades awarded at A*-B
• 86 % of grades awarded at A*-C

Across the curriculum, students have achieved excellent outcomes, with many subject areas producing particularly strong attainment and progress. We are especially proud of the breadth of success, with students excelling across the arts, humanities, sciences, mathematics and vocational qualifications.

As always, these achievements are the product of a genuine partnership between students, staff and families. Our teachers have worked tirelessly to support, challenge and inspire students throughout their Sixth Form journey, and we are incredibly grateful for their commitment. We would also like to thank parents and carers for the encouragement, support and reassurance they have provided throughout the last two years.

Many students will now progress on to universities, apprenticeships and employment opportunities across the country. We are delighted that students have secured places on a wide range of highly competitive courses and pathways and look forward to hearing about their future successes.

Of particular note are the achievements of the following students who secured at least three A* grades:

• John Al-Muhana, Bella Gaskin, Adam Harrison, Ted Lamb and Ffion Smith

The following students all achieved at least three A grades at A Level:

• Ahsan Ahmed, Evie Atkinson, Lucy Brookes, Jack Carter, Jess Carter, Claudia Cribb, Dylan Foxley, Lawrie Humby, Joel Hurd, Max Ko, Jenna Makepeace, Kezia Malcolm, Owen McCabe, Lucy McGuiness, Ryan Nixon, Kyle Patel, Abi Pearce, Matheo Paroullis, Pawel Skrzypinski, Imogen Smart, Samantha Steele, Rose Timothy and Isaac Yeats

Whilst we always celebrate our highest attainers, we are equally proud of every student who has achieved their personal goals, overcome challenges and secured their next step. The true measure of success is not simply the grade achieved, but the determination, growth and resilience demonstrated along the way.

We offer our warmest congratulations to the entire Year 13 cohort and wish them every success for the future. They leave Arden with a great deal to be proud of and will always remain an important part of our school community.

Congratulations, Class of 2026!
