Students at RGS Surrey Hills are celebrating a strong set of A Level results, with a significant rise in top grades and every student applying to university securing a place at their first-choice institution.
The Class of 2026 has seen a significant increase in the proportion of A*–A grades, reflecting strong progress across the Upper Sixth cohort.
Students will now take their next steps at universities across the UK and internationally. Destinations include King’s College London, Durham University, UCL, the Royal Veterinary College and the University of Exeter, alongside international destinations in Boston, Barcelona and Gothenburg.
Celebrating the Class of 2026
Hayley Robinson, Headmistress of RGS Surrey Hills, said:
“I am incredibly proud of this year group. I have watched them grow up and seen them embrace every opportunity to learn, grow and succeed.
“Their results reflect far more than academic achievement. They speak to the determination, character and ambition of a remarkable group of young people who have supported one another and contributed so much to our school community.”
The results come as RGS Surrey Hills continues to strengthen its academic provision, with a focus on excellent teaching, high expectations and ensuring that every student receives the right balance of individual support and challenge.
Building academic momentum
“Today’s results show the academic momentum building across the school, and we are only getting started,” added Mrs Robinson.
“Our ambition is for every student to achieve the very best results they can and to have the guidance, opportunities and confidence to take those results wherever their ambitions lead them.
“That might be a leading UK university, an international destination, a specialist institution or an entirely different pathway. Success will look different for every young person and our job is to know them well enough to help them find the path that is right for them.
“We are enormously proud of the Class of 2026 and tremendously excited about what lies ahead.”
