A level results day 2026

Ds was predicted A , thought he'd possibly drop to a B after paper one, but got an A. So hopefully the story is similar for everyone else and it hasn't impacted.

Agree worth an phone call

he sounds exceptional

AA and.a B that is 4 marks off an A. Missed first offer as a result .. worth getting a re-mark? How does that work, will they accept you late if you go back with revised result?

DD did Excel Maths and got an A, along with As in her other two subjects. No problems getting into the course. If she'd managed one A star, she'd also be eligible for a bursary each year of her degree, so I'll suggest that we look at grade boundaries and see if it's worth trying for a re-mark if any are close.

Oh that is great!!

Another one for York here. Phew! I loved the campus and the staff there. It s not too far from us either.
I was nearly sick by 8. Obviously DS was sanguine about it all.
We spent the past few days arguing about / preparing for clearing. So glad he does not have to go through it.
Good luck with navigating clearing 💐

Dd did so much better than we expected and is into her firm. Much happier than after her GCSE results. She’s going to Notts - bit odd though because of their issues. She loves it there but with her results she could have gone anywhere

Unfortunately it was for Warwick who I don’t believe change their minds. I doubt they know he was self taught as he is stubborn and doesn’t sell himself well. He got a contextual offer as he ticked off every criteria bar one. Thank you for your words he is incredible

@lisaloo88 Sorry to hear that, I would definitely call them and make sure they know he was self taught in FM. His school could also call them even though he didn't study the subject with them to make clear that they don't offer it and that he did it on his own. He must be absolutely exceptional to have got an A self taught.

How are you both doing today ? 🤞🤞

@lisaloo88 that sounds really tough - but I'm sure he'll have no problem getting a great offer with those results, and having done Further Maths will help him a lot during his first year on the course. He does sound an amazing young man.

Which York ? My dc goes to uni of York and loves it

out son got into Manchester for Psychology ! First choice and the first member on his dad’s side to go to uni! So proud of him

DS got his first choice at LSE. He had to get an A in that awful Edexcel maths exam which he did, so relieved! Good luck everyone!

I don’t know how anyone’s letting their dcs sleep in !! Get up! 😂😂😂😂

@lisaloo88 my DS also didn't get into Warwick (for MORSE). They are really strict when it comes to meeting offers. I believe they issue lots of offers but then their way of whittling them down is to not bend on grade requirements.

It's really tough. But your son will be brilliant wherever he ends up.

Well done to everyone! Fantastic to see so many young people off to university and taking that important first step to an amazing career. 😁

Just heard back from DD after dropping her at school at 8am.

she got AAB and an A in her EPQ. She’s been accepted into Kings College.

bloody kid is gutted because her EPQ was marked by school as A* but she was knocked down a mark which has dropped her to A. Part of me is feeling annoyed at her for being so ‘glass half empty’. But that’s typical of her.

she really wanted a different course at Kings, does anyone in the know think it’s worth calling them to see if she can switch? She wants History + IR but they’ve offered her History only.

Did consider it but he is happy with his results so dont want him to think we arent happy proud with his results. Was his school who decided to get his gcse paper remarked will see if College say anything.

They're not offering the course in Clearing so it may be the places are filled.

However if she rings them they can only say No! It can't do any harm.

Sorry, how rude of me, congratulations to everyone in this thread and your young person.

Whether they’ve got what they needed for their first choice/apprenticeship or if they are looking at clearing or investigating other options, I’m sure that they’ll find their path to a fulfilling future. For those who are taking a gap year or have alternative plans, enjoy and good luck!

DD got into her first choice. Such a relief! Well done to all your children. What a slog!

thank you @HPFA

Yep. Daughter took A levels 8 years ago, but I still like to cheer our young people and parents on.

DC is into first choice uni, 3 Bs. Little disappointing considering they were 7-9s at GCSE (obviously not going to say as much to them, I expect they're a bit disappointed too, they thought it might be ABB) but I know they didn't enjoy music A level very much and biology was a challenge, but it doesn't matter much in the scheme of things and the important thing is they're on to next step.
