Reaction and results from A Level results day

Published: Thursday 13 August 2026

Today is A Level results day and we will be sharing all the excitement and outcomes from the day right here, as well as reactions from young people as they open their results. 

A huge well done to all our young learners receiving their results today. 

In Kensington and Chelsea, 71 per cent of students achieved grades of A* to B, 15 per cent higher than the national average of 56 per cent.

It is also an increase on 2025's results, which saw 67 per cent achieve grades A* to B.
