Academic Results
We are immensely proud of all our pupils for everything they achieve and for the journeys they go through.
The value of an education should not be summed up in the results of a single exam, but instead in the adults our pupils become and the difference they make to the world. This philosophy is reflected in our decision not to publish examination data in national league tables. We don’t believe they can convey the ethos and values of our School, the character of our pupils and the commitment of our teachers to bring out the best in every pupil by finding their personal genius, whatever form that may take.
Our ethos is very simple and that is to produce happy children through an environment that promotes their self-confidence and self-esteem. With the superb teachers, excellent facilities and myriad opportunities we have at Reed’s we realise not only the academic potential of our pupils, but also develop the character of our pupils - this is what ultimately prepares them for the future.
2026 RESULTS
A Levels
The class of 2026 are record breakers at Reed’s with strongest ever A Level results! A stunning 60% of all grades were achieved at A*/A, with almost a quarter of all grades awarded at the highest level, A*, and 88% of all grades achieved were at A* to B grade.
We are incredibly proud of every one of our students. The class of 2026 have been a joyous cohort to have through the school. Both the boys and the girls have thrown themselves into the full life of Reed’s, making the most of all opportunities. Their excellent results show that they got the balance right and they enter the world as well-rounded young men and women.
These outstanding results will open doors, enabling our students to move onto their choice of higher education. Places were gained at top universities across the UK and the world and onto a variety of courses. To name but a few: Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford, Music at Oxford, Philosophy at Cambridge, Biology at Cambridge, Mathematics and Computer Science at Imperial College, London, Engineering at Durham, Economics at Bath and Law at Exeter.
Reed’s students are also going global, studying at top universities such as New York University, Penn State and Kansas State. We are also delighted that some students are taking up prestigious apprenticeships at places such as London Built Environment and Bank of America.
Headmaster, Mark Hoskins, commented:
“These are the strongest A Level results in Reed’s history, and I could not be prouder of our students. Their outstanding achievements reflect not only academic excellence but also the energy, commitment and enthusiasm they have brought to every aspect of school life. We are delighted to see them moving on to leading universities and prestigious apprenticeships, and I congratulate every student, alongside the staff and families who have supported them on their journey.”
GCSEs
Another set of record results, this time at GCSE! Our Fifth Form cohort produced a record-breaking set of GCSE examination results with 57% of all grades awarded at a 9 or 8 and 81% of all grades awarded at 9 -7. The most common grade achieved was a 9, with almost a third of all grades achieved at this highest level.
Our pupils performed well in all subjects. It is particularly noteworthy that in the compulsory subjects of Mathematics and English Language, they did exceedingly well. In English Language, well over half of all grades were achieved at grade 9, and 94% at grades 9-7. Equally impressive were the 85% of all Mathematics grades achieved at 9-7.
We are thrilled for our pupils with these excellent results; they should feel deservedly proud of their achievements after the effort they put in.
Headmaster, Mark Hoskins commented:
“These outstanding results are a testament not only to our pupils’ academic dedication, but also to the breadth of their engagement in school life. At Reed’s, we believe education is about developing the whole person, and it is wonderful to see our pupils achieving such success while also contributing so much to our community. They should be immensely proud of all they have accomplished. As they look ahead to Sixth Form life at Reed’s, they do so with the confidence, character and resilience that will enable them to thrive both in their studies and beyond, laying strong foundations for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.”
