A Level Results

The Grey Coat Hospital - A Level Results Summer 2026

It has been wonderful to celebrate the achievements of our A-Level students today. These outcomes are a testimony to the expert teaching, pastoral care and guidance given by our staff; the hard work and resilience of our students; and the unwavering support of our parents and carers.

We are delighted that the school’s A Level results continue to be above the average of all secondary schools in London, and above the average of all secondary schools nationally.

Please note that all results are provisional and may change after re-marks.

A* grades 11.1% (London 2026 TBC, 9.6% England 2026)
A*/A grades 37.5% (32.7% London 2026, 28.5% England 2026)
A*-B grades 66.3% (London/England TBC)
A*-C grades 85.9% (80.5% London 2026, 78.1% England 2026)
A*-E grades 98.9% (97.5% England in 2026)

In total, we had 157 students in Year 13 and 144 applied for a university place. Eight Year 14 and Year 15 students also applied to university through us, leading to a total of 152 applications. Our students will again take their places at a range of excellent and sought-after institutions, with 66 students so far securing courses at highly competitive Russell Group universities including seven places at Oxford and Cambridge. Two students are going on to a high-quality apprenticeship, and three students have secured art or design foundation places. The remaining students will take planned gap years.

According to the exams regulator OFQUAL, in the whole of England in 2026, only 2.2% of students who took three A Levels managed to attain three A* grades; only 66.3% of students nationally took 3 A levels in 2026; and only 4.9% of all A-Level students took more than three A Levels in 2026.

We have had many amazing individual successes to celebrate, all of which are rooted in the students’ consistently excellent effort and a strong desire to achieve their personal best; and some of which were achieved in the face of considerable personal challenges. A number of our students deserve a special mention for how they performed against the national picture.
