Sixth Form Examination Results

We are absolutely delighted to celebrate the achievements of our wonderful Year 13 students, whose hard work, character and commitment have produced an exceptional set of A‑level and BTEC results. For the second consecutive year, 42% of all grades were A–A* - an incredible achievement for a small Sixth Form- and 50% were A–B across A‑levels and BTECs. As a non‑selective school where every pupil is supported to exceed their potential in the pathway that suits them best this is really a result to be proud of!

Our students achieved A* grades in Maths, Biology and EPQ, with A grades in Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry, and Distinction / Distinction* in BTEC Sport and BTEC Business.

Special congratulations to:

Evelyn (A*A*AA) who will study Medicine at the University of Birmingham

Maksym (A*AAB) heading to University of Manchester to study Maths & Physics

Will (AAB) studying Chemistry at University of York

Raoul (Distinction Distinction Merit) studying Forestry Management at University of Cumbria

We also celebrate the achievements of students taking exciting next steps beyond academia:

• Jack who joins the Fire Service

• Fred, who has secured employment after achieving C in Biology and Distinction Distinction in BTEC Sport*

These results sit alongside outstanding wider accomplishments:

• Five Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards (with one more pending)
• ILM Level 3 Leadership qualifications
• One student serving as the Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet- the fourth consecutive appointment for Read School
• A rich portfolio of sport, performing arts, CCF, overseas expeditions and extra‑curricular experiences that shape the Read School journey

These achievements highlight the remarkable commitment, leadership and spirit of our students and the vibrant, holistic education that defines Read School.

Every student who applied to university secured a place- including Leicester (History), Hull (Mechanical Engineering) and Royal Holloway (Classical Studies). Others are pursuing exciting vocational pathways such as Hospitality Management while two pupils will take a gap year. We look forward to sharing individual profiles of our talented Sixth Form leavers as they settle into their next steps!

We are immensely proud of every single Year 13 student. Their Read School Sixth Form lives have been full, busy and have stretched them beyond measure. Seeing our students reap the rewards of their hard work and move on as confident, well‑rounded young adults is a joy and a privilege for us all at Read School. Their futures are bright, their ambitions are bold and we could not be prouder of everything they have achieved.
