Across the Trust’s sixth forms, students opened their results alongside friends and staff before looking ahead to futures spanning medicine, engineering, law, mathematics, physics, architecture, nursing, business, the performing arts and many other fields.

Each destination represents an individual story of hard work and personal growth, supported by families and by colleagues who have encouraged, challenged and guided students throughout their studies.

Abbeyfield School

At Abbeyfield School, stronger results were accompanied by ambitious university and apprenticeship destinations.

The proportion of academic entries awarded A*-A grades more than doubled, rising from 8% in 2025 to 17% in 2026. Students completing vocational qualifications also achieved strong outcomes, with every entry awarded Merit or above and 90% achieving Distinction or Distinction*.

Among those celebrating was Jenna Farmer, who achieved four A*s in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Further Mathematics. After impressing Mercedes during a week of work experience, Jenna secured an engineering degree apprenticeship with the company and is now preparing to take the next step towards a career in engineering.

Elsie Asante-Mensah is progressing to the University of Warwick to study Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics, known as MORSE. The interdisciplinary course combines advanced mathematics and statistics with their application to economics and real-world decision-making.

Weavers Academy

Students at Weavers Academy celebrated significant improvements in academic and vocational outcomes, alongside a wide range of university destinations.

More than a third of academic entries, 37%, achieved A*-B grades, up from 26% in 2025. The proportion awarded A*-C grades also increased from 57% to 61%. These results reflect the academy’s sustained focus on adaptive and personalised teaching, with staff working to understand and respond to each student’s strengths, needs and ambitions.

Chelsea Annan achieved AAA in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics, together with an A* in her extended project qualification. Chelsea will now begin her studies in Medicine at UCL.

Andre Tiganu achieved AAB in Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry, as well as an A* in his extended project qualification. Andre will progress to Loughborough University to study Mechanical Engineering.

The academy’s other destinations include courses in astrophysics, psychology, economics, architecture, product design, mental health nursing, marketing with business analytics and esports.

Wrenn School

At Wrenn School, students celebrated a significant improvement in vocational results and destinations spanning university, specialist performing arts education and professional careers.

More than six in ten vocational entries, 61%, achieved Distinction or Distinction*, compared with 39% in 2025. The proportion awarded Merit or above increased from 71% to 94%, while the average vocational grade improved from Merit+ to Distinction.

Lola Yarker is progressing to Bird College, a specialist performing arts institution. Lola has trained with Kilburn School of Dance since the age of seven, developing skills across multiple dance disciplines and competing nationally and internationally, including representing Team England at the Dance World Cup.

Yashvi Master will study Engineering at the University of Nottingham after developing a particular interest in design, architecture and computer-aided design. During her time at Wrenn, Yashvi developed her practical and creative skills through architectural work experience and ambitious coursework, including a model inspired by the Taj Mahal.

The wider cohort is progressing to various destinations, including courses in English Literature, Marketing, Law and Engineering, alongside apprenticeship and employment opportunities. Students also made a significant contribution to the school and wider community through mentoring, volunteering, charitable activities and Wrenn’s Give-Back leadership programme.

The Hart School

More than three-quarters of leavers from The Hart School are progressing to university or higher apprenticeships following particularly strong outcomes in English Literature, History, Sociology, Media Studies and Dance. The school also saw an increase in the number of students achieving the highest A* and A grades.

Grace Mackie achieved an A* in Sociology and Bs in Law and History, reflecting the school’s particular strengths across the humanities and social sciences.

Ruby Follows combined academic and performing arts achievement, securing an A in English Literature, a Distinction in Dance and a B in Psychology.

Other notable achievements included Daisy Irving’s As in History and Sociology and B in Law, Kian Wharton’s As in History and Media Studies and B in English Literature, and Hope Edwards’ Double Distinction in Dance. 

Celebrating every pathway

The achievements celebrated across the Trust demonstrate that success can take many forms.

Some students have secured highly competitive university places. Others are beginning degree apprenticeships, specialist education, further professional training or employment. Each pathway reflects the talents, interests and ambitions of the individual student.

Nicole McCartney, Chief Executive Officer of Creative Education Trust, said:

“Huge congratulations to all our Year 13 students. We are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved and of the determination, ambition and resilience they have shown throughout their studies.

“These results represent far more than grades. They reflect the hard work of our students, the support of their families and the dedication of the staff who have encouraged and challenged them every step of the way.

“Whether students are progressing to university, apprenticeships, further training or employment, we wish them every success for the future. They leave us with skills, confidence and experiences that will help them fulfil their ambitions and make a positive contribution to their communities.”

Creative Education Trust congratulates every member of the Class of 2026 and thanks the families, teachers and support staff who helped students reach this important milestone.
