Congratulations A Level Class of 2026

Pupils at Cheltenham Ladies’ College are celebrating exceptional A Level results today, with A* - A grades making up more than two thirds (69%) of results.

The A Level Class of 2026 has secured places at a range of top universities across the UK, including Bristol, Cambridge, The Courtauld Institute, Durham, Edinburgh, Imperial, Oxford, The Royal Veterinary College, St Andrews, UCL and Warwick.

Many are also going on to study at world-leading US colleges such as Brown University, Cornell University, Emory University, Florida International University, Hampton University, Parsons School of Design in New York, and UCLA, as well as ESCP Business School and HKU.

Across the cohort, an impressive 91% of results achieved by CLC A Level pupils are A* - B grades.

Executive Principal Eve Jardine-Young said: "Education is at its richest and most fulfilling when outstanding staff are in partnership with curious, brave, resilient and dedicated students who are aspirational, agile and reflective."

We are so proud of all the Class of 2026 have achieved.

Head of College Jemima Edney said: "These superb academic achievements sit alongside a vast array of successes in co-curricular endeavours including sport, the creative arts, debating and public speaking, and are testament to a cohort determined to embrace everything CLC has to offer."

Dr David Gambin, Vice-Principal Academic, added: “These outstanding results reflect the powerful combination of passionate teaching, exceptional pastoral care and ambitious young people who are encouraged to make the most of every opportunity.

“Whether through academic enrichment, Olympiads, leadership, community service, sport, music, drama or international experiences, our pupils are challenged to discover their strengths and broaden their horizons."

Cheltenham Ladies’ College is a place where young people flourish, develop confidence and character, and leave ready to make a meaningful impact on the world.
