Huge congratulations to Wellington College’s A-level students on achieving a stunning set of results this morning. 72 of them secured straight A grades or better, with a remarkable 24 candidates recording at least three A*s, due reward for the hard work, commitment and resilience they displayed throughout their rigorous two-year courses. Building on the outstanding successes achieved by the College’s IB Diploma students earlier this summer, the entire cohort of 2026 leavers can be immensely proud of all they have accomplished: nearly a third of all grades currently sit at the highest A*/7 level and over two-thirds at A*/A or 7/6. Overall, 125 graduating Wellingtonians have secured a clean sweep of A*/A grades in their A-levels or 7/6 at the IB equivalent Higher Level, underlining the College’s reputation as a school of real academic distinction, and one of the very few that offers both 16+ pathways to such a high standard.
Wellington’s Master, James Dahl, has this to say: “It has been a joy to have witnessed the journey of this remarkably talented, bright and positive year group over the past five years. They have been national sporting champions across multiple disciplines, boys and girls; they have produced artistic performances in the theatre, dance hall and music school which would not be out of place in the Proms or the West End; they have served and led others with distinction through all manner of charitable endeavours, service activities and global citizenship programmes; and they have been one of the smiliest and cheeriest year groups I can remember! I am absolutely thrilled that they now leave the College not just with an outstanding set of examination results which will set them up brilliantly for their time at university, but also with a toolkit of skills, a mindset of service leadership, and a suite of competencies which will allow them to flourish as adult humans in their lives beyond Crowthorne.”
Well done to them all: we wish them the very best of fortune as they move on to the next stages of their academic careers and beyond. We look forward to staying in close touch through WellyConnect, our wide-ranging alumni programme supporting our leavers from school to higher education and first jobs.
