There was a wonderful atmosphere at KLB School this morning as students returned to collect their A level results and share this special moment with their friends, families and the staff who supported them throughout their time at the school. 

There were plenty of smiles, hugs and a few tears as students opened their envelopes and saw their hard work rewarded, opening the door to an exciting next chapter. 

This year, over 13% of grades were awarded at A*, with 35% awarded at A* or A. 

Hannah Khan, Headteacher, said: “We are absolutely delighted with these results. Our students have worked incredibly hard, and we are so proud of all they have achieved. They have contributed a great deal to KLB, and it has been a real pleasure to watch them grow during their time with us. 

“A special thank you to Jane Campion for her leadership, care and support throughout the students’ time in the Sixth Form, and to the many teachers, tutors and associate staff who have taught, guided and supported them along the way. These results are a real team effort.  

“Students are now progressing to a wide range of universities, apprenticeships, employment opportunities, art foundation courses and gap-year experiences. Whatever their next step, they leave KLB with our warmest congratulations and very best wishes for the future.

2026 GCSE Results

The Year 11 students collecting their GCSE results at KLB today completed their primary education without SATs, started secondary school in the shadow of the pandemic and have spent the last five years building confidence, resilience and ambition as they navigated a journey that looked very different from that experienced by past students.

GCSE results day 2026 has been opportunity not only to celebrate examination results, but also to reflect on how far these students have come. They are now prepared to embrace their further education pathways with determination and self-assurance.

Hannah Khan, Headteacher, said: “Results day is always an important occasion, but it is only one chapter in a far bigger story. Today, some students will be celebrating exceptional outcomes, while others will simply be pleased to have secured the grades they need for their chosen next step. Both are equally important. What matters is that each student can now move forward with confidence towards the opportunities that lie ahead.

“I am proud not only of our students’ academic achievements, but also of their contribution to school life. Whether through sport, music, drama, student leadership, charitable work, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, trips and visits, or the everyday kindness they show to one another, they have left their mark on KLB.

“We are excited to welcome so many students back into the Sixth Form in September. It is a real vote of confidence in the quality of education, care and opportunities we provide. The Sixth Form continues to go from strength to strength, and the introduction of A Level Politics is just one example of how we are continuing to develop our offer to meet the interests and aspirations of our students.

“We also wish students who are pursuing opportunities elsewhere every success in their chosen pathway.”
