A-levels 2026: De Aston School celebrates outstanding achievements

With results released on Thursday, August 13, multiple pupils are said to have achieved top grades across a range of courses.

Subjects achieving the very highest A*/A grades included A-level Maths and Further Maths, Photography, English Literature, Geography, History and Level 3 Criminology. A particular mention went to Photography with an impressive five A* grades.

Mr Simon Porter - Headteacher at the school, said: “They truly are an outstanding set of results from an outstanding group of young people. Most of whom have spent seven years at De Aston and they now go off to make their mark in the world at university, apprenticeships and employment.”

He called the results a reflection of their personal dedication. “It is about all results for all students not just those with the highest grades and that sense of pride we have extends to the full range of achievements,” he said. “Their results tell the story of their resilience and the efforts of staff who helped them through personal struggles to achieve these grades. It is important to remember that these students are more than a collection of their grades. They are all exceptional, inspiring, and talented young people in their own ways and we couldn’t be prouder of them.”
