KS4 Exam Results: Summer 2026
National benchmarking: At the time of publishing this information (24 September 2026), national figures for the 2025/26 cohort have not yet been validated and published. Where a national comparison is provided, we have therefore benchmarked our 2026 results against the latest available validated national figures, relating to the 2024/25 cohort (2025 national data). This provides the most recent appropriate national benchmark available at the time of publication.
