A level and GCSE Exam Results
Duchy College is a largely non-selective school, although our excellent public exam results might suggest otherwise. Studying at Duchy College typically adds one grade to estimated exam results in every subject – a factor which is considered by many to be the best indication of a school’s success.
A level Results
We are always incredibly proud of our A level students for their determination, their hard work and their resilience as well as the results they receive.
In 2026, pupils are celebrated the best A*-A grade percentage in four years, outstanding value-added progress and a 100% pass rate as A Level results.
The school’s A*-B percentage has seen three consecutive years of improvement and two-thirds of pupils this year achieved at least one A* or A grade, the highest figure since 2023.
80% of grades in Maths and Further Maths were A*-A, while 53% of pupils will go on to study STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) courses, over double the national average of female applications for STEM subjects in 2025.
GCSE Results
Our 2026 GCSE results saw the best 9-7 grade percentage since 2023 and outstanding STEM grades. Half of all grades were at 9-7, the highest number in four years, while 80% of grades in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Further Maths were 9-7. Pupils studying languages also performed well, with 70% of grades at 9-7, including an outstanding 100% 9-7 percentage in German.
These results in STEM subjects highlight the school’s continued commitment to championing careers in science, technology, engineering and maths, with 53% of A Level pupils going on to study STEM courses, which is over double the national average of female applications in 2025.
In addition to outstanding results, over 70% of pupils outperformed their baseline predicted grades.
