GCSE Results Day 2026
PRESS RELEASE
Students celebrate improved results across English, science and many other subjects!
Students, staff, parents and carers across the Chiltern Hills Academy community are celebrating today following a significant improvement in GCSE results for Year 11 students.
This year, 70% of students achieved grade 4 or above in English and science, with strong performances across a wide range of subjects. Notably impressive results have been seen in English, science, art, photography, business, computer science, performing arts, French, Spanish, history and PRE.
The results reflect the hard work, determination and resilience shown by students throughout the year, alongside the dedicated support provided by staff and the encouragement of parents and carers.
Overall GCSE outcomes have also improved, with students achieving higher grades across most subjects compared with 2025.
The progress made across both academic and vocational pathways demonstrates the strength of the Academy’s broad curriculum and its commitment to helping every student achieve their potential.
Principal Mr Tim Dobbs praised the achievements of the Year 11 cohort:
“This year’s results are a testament to the hard work and determination of our Year 11 students, the tireless commitment of our staff, and the unwavering support of families. We are immensely proud of everything our students have achieved and of the progress they have made.”
As students look ahead to sixth form, college, apprenticeships and other pathways, they can do so with a strong foundation and renewed confidence in their ability to succeed.
Today’s results represent more than academic achievement. They reflect the resilience and maturity of our students and the strength of a school community working together to raise aspirations and create opportunities for success.
