A Level Exam Results 2026
We would like to congratulate our students on the outcome of all their hard work as they celebrate their A Level successes this morning.
Students attained an average grade B overall - a reflection of their hard work and commitment over their course of study, and of the dedication of their teachers. 86% of students received A Level passes at Grade C or above, with 20 students remarkably attaining all A*/A grades. We are especially proud of students from disadvantaged backgrounds who have attained a grade B on average.
This year group have achieved far more than grades - underneath the statistics lie individual stories of success and triumph, sometimes against the odds. In a journey that has not been without challenge, they have supported each other, collaborated and shown real determination and resilience to succeed and we are very proud of them. They are bright, independently-minded individuals who have developed a broad range of interests and talents over their time at NHGS.
75% of students have been placed at universities of their choice, with other university applicants being offered alternative courses. Those progressing to university are studying a wide variety of subjects including: English, Natural Sciences, History of Art and Law at Oxbridge; Fashion Marketing at York St John; Dentistry, Civil Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics in Leeds; Biomedical Science in Birmingham; Games Art at The Northern School of Art; and Business Management and Psychology at Durham. A number of students are taking on apprenticeships including Engineering at Rolls Royce Aerospace, a degree apprenticeship in Technology at ASDA and Software Engineering at Accenture.
We look forward to seeing what they contribute to society and achieve in future years.
We wish them all the very best on the next stage of life’s journey.
