Celebrating outstanding Sixth Form results
August 2026
Following excellent results, James M will study a Degree in Astrophysics at Durham University.
Students at King James are celebrating another year of success, following A-Level and vocational results. Many students in Year 13 are now starting degree courses at universities across the country.
Whilst results in all A-Level subjects were positive, outcomes were particularly strong in STEM subjects where 81% of students secured grades A*-C. In Maths, 50% of students achieved an A grade, and more than 80% of students achieved at least a C grade. In Further Maths, two thirds of all students achieved an A* or A grade. In A-Level Computing, almost 70% of students achieved A* or A grades, and all students achieved at least a C grade. Elsewhere, in both Art and Photography, 100% of students achieved A* - C grades.
In vocational subjects, we again saw a 100% pass rate which is a fantastic achievement. 66% of students achieved the highest possible grades (Distinction* or Distinction), compared with 55% last year, and 24% achieved a Distinction*. In Human Biology, 71% of students achieved a Distinction or Distinction* grade, and 72% achieved a Distinction or Distinction* grade in Business. In Health & Social Care, 73% of students achieved a Distinction or Distinction* grade, which is an exceptional achievement.
Whilst we are immensely proud of all of our students, special congratulations go to Freddie W, who achieved an A* grade in Biology, and A grades in Maths and Further Maths. James M also achieved A grades in Maths and Further Maths, and two further A grades in Physics and Computer Science. James will now continue on to university to study Astrophysics!
Jay M achieved an A* grade in Computer Science, an A grade in Maths, a Distinction* grade in IT, as well as a Merit in Food Science, and will now study Cyber Security at university. Holly M was awarded Distinction* grades in Sport and Health & Social Care, and Distinction grades in Food Science and Human Biology. Lastly, a special mention for Emily B, who achieved Distinction grades in Health & Social Care, Human Biology and Psychology, and is now going to study Mental Health Nursing at Leeds Beckett University.
