A level Results
Every year, our students achieve excellent results well above the national average. Our transformative approach inspires and encourages, ensuring leavers are well placed to make the next step to their chosen courses at leading universities and degree apprenticeships in the UK and overseas.
In 2026, 41% of all A level grades achieved were A*/A and 74% were A*- B.
74% of our 2026 leavers have progressed to a Russell Group university or a course in Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science. Destinations this year include, the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, UCL, University of Warwick, University of Edinburgh, University of Bristol and King’s College London.
Brampton College has a long history of achieving outstanding A level results and has consistently been placed in the top 1% of colleges and schools in the country for ‘value added’ which measures progress from GCSE to A level. A positive score means students made more progress, on average, than students with similar GCSE results across England.
GCSE Results
Our accelerated GCSE programme supports students to take up to 7 GCSEs in just one year. Whether taking these exams for the first time or resitting, Brampton GCSE students achieve excellent outcomes. In 2026 more than one in five results (21%) were at the very highest grades of 9 or 8 (A*) and 64% were grades 9-6 (A*-B) ensuring smooth progression to A level studies and beyond.
Pupils are graded by a 1-9 number system as opposed to the traditional A*-G grading. 9 is the highest and 1 the lowest. 9, 8 and 7 correspond to the current top grades of A* and A and this has been designed to give more differentiation at the top end. 9 has been awarded to fewer pupils than A* was previously.
Right now I feel awesome! Coming to Brampton was a great change. I instantly enjoyed the teaching and environment, including the regular testing system and small class groups. The individual attention helps you realise your potential. Definitely come to Brampton, it’s good for everyone. It focussed me on my work and I got great results – so it all paid off!
Natalyia transferred to us from another school and achieved an A*A*A here at Brampton.
I’m really happy. I couldn’t sleep for a few days but I’m so relieved now. I’m off to study Medicine which has been my goal from day one!
I’ve especially valued the personal relationships you develop with teachers here at Brampton – being able to go to them whenever I needed them for questions, time management or personal guidance. They helped me beyond my academic studies.
I chose Brampton because they offered regular monitoring that other colleges don’t offer. The fortnightly reports and the one-on-ones both helped keep me on track.
More than the academic side of things, I’ve become a more confident person. Brampton teaches you to become an adult, it makes you more eager to learn. I’ve been reassured by my teachers and given a sense of self-belief I never had before.
An amazing result of A*A*A*A for Joyce who went on to study Medicine at King’s College London.
