A Level Examination Results 2026

Beacon Academy is proud to celebrate the achievements of our Year 13 students, whose dedication, resilience and hard work have been recognised through their A Level and vocational qualification results.

These outcomes reflect not only academic success but also the determination and character our students have demonstrated throughout their time at the academy.

Headteacher, Keith Slattery, commented: 

"Today is a day to celebrate our Year 13 students and everything they have achieved during their time at Beacon Academy. We are incredibly proud of the results they have achieved, but even more proud of the young people they have become. 

These results reflect years of hard work, resilience and determination. Behind every grade is a student who has shown commitment, overcome challenges and continued to strive for their goals. Each student has their own story, and it is those individual journeys that make today so special. 

Whether students are progressing to university, apprenticeships, employment or further training, they leave Beacon with the knowledge, skills and confidence to take their next steps. We are excited to see what the future holds for them and know that they will continue to achieve great things. 

I would like to thank our dedicated staff and supportive families who have played such an important role in helping our students succeed. Their guidance, encouragement and belief have made a real difference throughout this journey.

To our Year 13 students, thank you for everything you have contributed to Beacon Academy. You have left your mark on our school through your character, kindness and determination. We are immensely proud of you and wish you every success and happiness for the future. Congratulations on your achievements and good luck with the exciting opportunities that lie ahead."
