A Level results at Akeley Wood
At Akeley, A Level results are part of a wider story about each student's next step. By the end of Year 13, we want students to leave with results they can be proud of, confidence in their choices and the strength of character they need for life beyond school.
Our Future Ready programme and A Level curriculum support students as they prepare for university, apprenticeships, careers or work. The latest results and destinations show the range of routes our students are ready to take after Sixth Form.
STUDENT SUCCESS
Student highlights and personal growth
The results also show the personal growth behind each set of grades. Two of the top achievers of 2026, friends Naomi and Jake, have secured their first-choice universities for their future studies. Naomi achieved AAA and is heading to the University of Leeds to study Microbiology. Jake achieved AA*A and is looking forward to taking a gap year before studying Geography at Lancaster University.
Other students are taking equally exciting routes, from pursuing sought-after degree apprenticeships to embarking on a wide range of degrees at universities across the country.
WIDER PATHWAYS
Creative, technical and specialist routes
At Sixth Form, students also move into creative, technical and specialist courses. This range is important because it shows that progression after Sixth Form is personal to the student, their strengths and the future they want to build.
Destinations include Escape Studios for Character Creation for Animation, Games and VFX, London Metropolitan University for Fashion Marketing and Journalism, London College of Communication for Immersive Media and Mixed Reality, and ACM, The Academy of Contemporary Music, for Music Production.
These routes sit alongside more traditional university pathways. Together, they show students using their A Level experience, personal interests and guidance to choose courses that feel right for them.
FUTURE READY
Future Ready support for next steps
A Level results are strongest when students also know how to use them. At AW6, we help students prepare for their first job, university or apprenticeship interview, as well as the choices that come before those moments.
Students have access to careers guidance, university preparation and support for future pathways. They work towards grades while learning how to make informed decisions about what comes next.
By the time students leave us at the end of Year 13, we want them to have confidence, resilience and a clearer understanding of themselves. Results open doors, and the habits students build through AW6 help them step through those doors well.
