Uxbridge High School celebrates A Level and Technical results 2026

A Level success

Ninety-five per cent of our A Level students achieved three or more A Level grades at A*–E, with 65% securing a grade C or above and 30% securing a grade B or above. Behind those figures sit individual stories of determination, positivity and hard-won progress across the full breadth of our sixth form curriculum.

Particularly strong subject performances included:

• Mathematics — 23% of students securing grades A*–A
• History and Sociology — 86% of students securing grades C or above in both subjects
• Politics — 78% of students grading at C or above
• Law — 77% of students securing grades C or above
• Geography — 75% of students securing grades C or above

Technical and vocational pathways

Our BTEC and Technical pathways once again delivered highly impressive outcomes, continuing the trend established last year. The average performance across these courses was a Distinction, with notable successes in the Business Diploma and the ICT Cambridge Technical.

We are proud that our sixth form offers genuine breadth: academic, applied and technical routes that are equally valued, equally rigorous and equally celebrated. A Distinction earned through sustained coursework and professional practice represents exactly the same qualities of determination and self-discipline as a top A Level grade, and we recognise both in the same breath.

Every student, a destination

Perhaps the achievement we are proudest of is this: all of our students have been successful in securing a chosen destination. University places, degree apprenticeships, higher-level technical training, employment — each one chosen, not settled for. That is Inclusion by Design in practice. It reflects the work of our sixth form team, our careers provision and our tutors, who have known these young people as individuals and have held high expectations for every one of them.

More than a grade

Louisa Seymour Principal of Uxbridge High School, said:

"Today is a day for celebration, and I want every one of our students to feel that fully. But what I keep returning to is not the grade sheet — it is the young people themselves.

"Our students leave us having lived our PROUD values. They are Positive in the face of setbacks, Respectful of one another and of the community they belong to, Open Minded in how they think and learn, Unique in what they bring, and Determined in a way that has been tested and proven over the last two years. Those characteristics are not a supplement to their academic success — they are the reason for it, and they are what employers, universities and colleagues will notice long after the certificates are filed away.

"To our students: you have shaped this school as much as it has shaped you. Take your qualifications and take your character, and let them work together.

"I also want to thank our  staff, and — very sincerely — our families. Results like these are the product of a community, not an individual effort."

Looking forward

At Uxbridge High School we hold ourselves to gold standards, and a gold standard is never a finish line. Celebration and reflection belong in the same conversation.

So alongside today's success, our leadership team and subject leaders are already examining where we can be better: which subjects need sharper curriculum sequencing, where our highest-attaining students could be stretched further, and how we continue to close gaps for the students who need us most. Our 2026–2029 School Development Plan sets out that work in detail, with Inclusion by Design running through it as a golden thread.

We are ambitious for what comes next — for our current Year 12 and Year 13 students, for the young people joining our sixth form this September, and for a school community that intends to keep improving.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026. We could not be prouder of you.
