Students at Badminton School are celebrating another year of exceptional A Level results, with 37% of all grades awarded being an A* or A.
Badminton’s Class of 2026 now prepare to embark on their higher education journeys at leading institutions across the UK and around the world, including The University of Oxford, multiple Russell Group universities, and prestigious establishments in Hong Kong and America.
Seventy per cent of students secured a place at their first-choice university. A number of students sailed into results day with the added reassurance of having secured unconditional offers for higher education to study Global Sports Management, Archaeology, Sociology, Fashion Design and Photography.
Many attained straight A*/A grades, with some achieving four A* grades. One of these students was Joey, who commented on her achievement: “I am really excited to start studying Medicine at Imperial College in September. I’m grateful to all my teachers and friends at Badminton who have supported me throughout A Levels. I’m going to miss the community here and especially playing football with my friends”.
Other straight A*/A students included Tiffany (going on to study Physics at Oxford), Evangeline (going on to study Computer Science and Maths at Edinburgh), Anna (Physics and Meteorology at Edinburgh), Sofia (Law at Warwick), Asma (Design with Innovation at Bristol), Ami (Pharmacy at Manchester), Tiffany (Economics at UCL), Dora (Veterinary at Bristol), Anna (Computational Physics at Edinburgh) and Florence (going on to study Fine Art at Oxford).
Head Girl Sara said: “Badminton has given me far more than an education; from performing and leading to the friendships and opportunities that have shaped who I am, it has truly been home for me, and I will carry those memories with me into the next chapter of my life.”
Head Jessica Milessaid: “Badminton’s Upper Sixth Cohort of 2026 have once again delivered on their ambition and promise with these results.
“We are exceptionally proud of the wide range of courses and institutions that they are joining from September, ranging from Fashion Design to International Relations, Psychology to Egyptology and Archaeology, History to Fashion Jewellery.”
