St Albans High School for Girls (STAHS) is celebrating its best ever A level results, with the Class of 2026 achieving exceptional grades across the board.
In all 55 per cent of the year group achieved all A* and A grades. 37 per cent of results were graded A*, 75 per cent of results were graded A*/A, 94 per cent of results were graded A*/B, and one fifth of the cohort achieved 3 A* grades.
Over 15 per cent of students have secured Oxbridge places and the majority of leavers will attend Russell Group universities, studying subjects ranging from aerospace engineering and medicine to marine biology, law, music, fine art and human sciences.
The results reflect the academic excellence of the cohort and also their commitment, determination and intellectual curiosity throughout their time at STAHS.
Ann Massey, head of St Albans High School for Girls, said: “We are absolutely delighted to celebrate the Class of 2026 and their outstanding A level results. These are our best results ever and are a wonderful reflection of the girls’ academic ability, resilience and hard work.
“What makes us particularly proud is the breadth of contribution these young women have made to our school community, through co-curricular activities, leadership and the many individual passions and talents they have pursued alongside their studies.
“We’ve sent our warmest congratulations to all students and thanks to the dedicated staff, parents and families whose encouragement, guidance and support have played such an important role in the girls’ successes.”
