A Level Results: Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
Pupils at Stockport Grammar School are celebrating an excellent set of A Level results, securing places on a wide range of prestigious university courses, degree apprenticeships and professional pathways.
The school’s results have climbed steadily over the past three years with 92% of pupils achieving A* – C compared to 86% in 2023, with A grades rising from 2025.
This year 42% of our pupils achieved the highest grades of A* – A and 91% of pupils have been accepted into their chosen course. These results will see our pupils progress to a diverse range of destinations including Universities of Cambridge, Manchester, Liverpool and the Royal Northern College of Music.
Amongst those celebrating is Cara, who achieved an outstanding three A*s and two As and was “over the moon” to secure her place at the University of Cambridge to study Human, Social and Political Sciences.
While university is the next step for many, lots of our pupils have chosen to study apprenticeships or degree apprenticeships.
Deputy Head of School Finn will be beginning a Nuclear Submarine Degree Apprenticeship with Rolls Royce combining further study with practical experience as he pursues a career in engineering, an area that has long interested him during his time at SGS.
Head Mrs Sarah Capewell said: “Success looks different for every pupil, and I am so very proud to see this year’s cohort moving confidently into futures that reflect their individual strengths, interests and ambitions. I look forward to seeing where life beyond SGS will take them.”
Head of Sixth Form Mr David Stone added: “I am delighted for each and every member of the SGS Class of 2026! Within their fantastic collective achievements this year lie so many individual successes shaped by their Sixth Form and School experiences, supported at each step by their teachers, families and support networks. We are sure that there will be much deserved celebration in the coming days, as they look ahead with excitement and confidence to new adventures as summer draws to a close.”
