Stories from St Ed's: A Level Results 2026
Today we celebrate the achievements of four talented and determined young women. Evie, Daisie, Alice and Alice all held positions in our Student Leadership team in 2025-26. Their academic studies were balanced alongside charity work, student council, musical achievements, sports, volunteering - and more!

They are wonderful examples of what can be achieved when students pursue their interests and passions alongside their A Levels. Their Sixth Form experience has been about so much more than exams, and we are thrilled to see that their hard work has been rewarded with such fantastic results.

We know there are exciting things ahead for all four of them. Look out world - this group are ready to lead!

Stories from St Ed’s: A Level Results 2026

Our first 'Stories from St Ed’s' celebrates five students who achieved some of our highest grades this year - but their results tell a story that goes beyond a set of letters on a page.

Matthew, Ioana, Anson, Douglas and Oscar all significantly exceeded their baseline grades, demonstrating the impact of their hard work, determination and commitment throughout Sixth Form.

Now, they are heading off to pursue subjects they are passionate about:

Matthew → Medicine, Cardiff University
Ioana → Economics, University of Warwick
Anson → Mechanical Engineering, University of Manchester
Douglas → Biochemistry, Cardiff University
Oscar → War Studies, King’s College London

Five individual journeys, shaped by different interests, ambitions and strengths - and we're incredibly proud of every one of them.

Congratulations, Matthew, Ioana, Anson, Douglas and Oscar. We can't wait to see what comes next!

Look out for more inspirational stories over the coming days.

Thank you for a fantastic write up of our students’ wonderful achievements. The joyful faces say it all!

We are incredibly proud to celebrate another strong set of A Level results, with 51% of grades awarded at A*/A and 66.2% at A*–B.

There were some outstanding subject results too, including 100% A* in Mathematics and 100% A*/A in Geography, Physics, PE and RS.

A huge congratulations to all of our students, whose hard work, determination and ambition have paid off. We are especially proud of Matthew A, who achieved an incredible 4 A*s and will go on to study Medicine at Cardiff University.

Our students are now heading on to a fantastic range of universities, apprenticeships and careers, including Drama, Biomedical Science, Psychology, War Studies and the Police Force.

Behind every result is an individual story, and we are delighted to celebrate every one of them. Look out for more detailed posts over the coming days. Well done, Class of 2026!

Our wonderful Upper Sixth cohort need no reminder that Thursday 13th August is Results Day. We wish them the very best of luck for their results and their next steps.

Staff will be in the Study Room from 8am to hand out results. Mrs Newstead will be there to ensure that all applications can proceed smoothly.

We are so proud of all you have achieved and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Towards the end of term, our Year 10 Geographers enjoyed a fantastic few days at Juniper Hall in Surrey, completing the fieldwork required for their GCSE course.

From investigating the impact of tourism on Box Hill and exploring urban regeneration in Leatherhead to measuring beach profiles and evaluating coastal defences at Saltdean, students experienced first-hand how geography comes to life beyond the classroom. There was even time for a campfire, games and the all-important seaside ice cream!

Throughout the residential, our students showed real curiosity, resilience and enthusiasm, asking thoughtful questions and fully embracing every challenge. They were outstanding ambassadors for St Edward's, and we are incredibly proud of all they achieved.

On the final day of term, we had the pleasure of celebrating the many achievements of our Lower School students.

Our Year 7, 8 and 9 students are a real credit to St Edward's, and we are incredibly proud of everything they have accomplished this year. From expanding their knowledge and embracing new ideas to developing new skills, discovering new passions and building lasting friendships, they have made the most of every opportunity.

The celebration was made even more special by wonderful musical performances from the Lower School Vocal Ensemble, Yoseph K and Karly M, showcasing the breadth of talent within our school community.

It was a fitting way to bring the academic year to a close. We hope all of our students and families are enjoying a happy, restful summer and look forward to welcoming everyone back in September.
