We celebrated another excellent set of A Level Results in 2026 with a 98.2% overall pass rate.

100% pass rate in 17 subjects, including  Computer Science, English Language and Literature, Law, Physics, Politics and Spanish.

Many students are now looking forward to continuing their studies at universities across the UK, having secured places on a wide range of degree courses. This year’s destinations include Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Sheffield and York, with one student achieving the grades needed to take up a place at Cambridge.

David Akeroyd, Principal and Chief Executive of Barnsley College, said: “Congratulations to all of our students receiving their A Level results today. Their achievements reflect the dedication, resilience and commitment they have shown throughout their studies, supported every step of the way by our talented and hardworking staff.

“We know that they are entering a competitive job market, which is why we ensure that our students not only achieve the results they need to progress today but also develop the skills they will need for tomorrow through dedicated work placements and industry programmes. Whether they are heading to university, an apprenticeship or directly into employment, we wish every one of them the very best as they begin the next chapter of their journey.”
