Celebrations take place across Camden as students receive A-level, T-level and vocational results
Yesterday (13 August), Year 13 students celebrated across the borough as they received their 2026 A-level, T-level and vocational results.
This year, the average point score per A-level entry in Camden was 35.9, compared with 35.4 in 2025. 98.1% of A-level exam entries were awarded grades A* to E – in line with the national average.
For vocational qualifications, the average point score per entry was 31.7, up from 30.0 in 2025.
This year also marks an important milestone for Camden, with the first cohort of students in Camden schools completing their T-level courses and receiving their qualifications.
Students studying T-level at Acland Burghley School, Haverstock School and Maria Fidelis School achieved a 100% pass rate, compared with a national average of 93%. The results also demonstrate the high level of achievement among Camden's T-level students, with 92% achieving distinction or merit grades, compared with a national average of 68.9%. These high grades are equivalent to achieving AAA to BBB at A-level, highlighting the strength and calibre of Camden's technical education offer.
These results reflect the excellent work taking place every day across Camden’s schools, with dedicated teachers and staff supporting young people to achieve, thrive and prepare for their next steps. Camden’s schools continue to provide high-quality education, helping every young person to develop their talents and fulfil their potential.
Strong employer partnerships through Camden STEAM have provided students with valuable industry placement experiences, while bringing schools and employers together to develop the skills needed for the future workforce.
This impact can be seen in the journeys of two Camden T-level students, Sem Nuru and Maciej Brzezia, who completed their industry placements at The Francis Crick Institute and have now progressed to degree-level apprenticeships, returning to the Crick this autumn.
Congratulations to all Camden students receiving their A-level, technical and vocational results. These achievements are the result of many years of hard work, supported by dedicated teachers, school staff, families and friends.
Camden’s young people continue to inspire us with their talent and determination. We have many fantastic opportunities available for them as they take their next steps. From apprenticeships and entering the world of work, to further and higher education opportunities, we are here to support them.
A huge congratulations to everyone receiving their A-level, technical and vocational results. This is an important moment, and I hope you take the time to celebrate all the effort you've put in to get here. I'd also like to thank the teachers, parents, carers, families and friends who have supported young people throughout their studies.
Whatever your results and whatever your next step, remember that there is no single route to success. We’re here if you need advice on what opportunities are available and we want every young person in Camden to feel supported to fulfil their potential.
Alongside celebrating this year's results, Camden Council and Camden Learning are continuing to deliver Camden's Education Strategy, Building Back Stronger, including our joint commitment to an excellent school experience for all Camden pupils and a post-16 education system that benefits all students.
Camden is also expanding opportunities for young people beyond the classroom, including through its Opportunity Centres at the London AI Campus and Euston Skills Centre, giving students access to academic support, future-facing skills, careers advancement and vocational pathways.
In addition, Camden’s Virtual School also provides dedicated support for young people in care and care leavers, helping them navigate their education, results and next steps, including progression to further and higher education, training and employment.
