Exam Results
We are immensely proud of our record breaking 2026 A Level and GCSE results, which reflect the ambition, determination, and hard work of our students, alongside the dedication of our staff and support of our families.
A-Level Results 2026:
Sixth Form students at The Totteridge Academy achieved another exceptional set of A Level results in 2026, with 40% of all A Level entries awarded A*-A grades, 71% achieving A*-B and 89% achieving A*-C.
These results represent another significant step forward for our Sixth Form. Our Average Point Score (APS) of 41.74, meaning that our students achieved an average grade of B+ in each of their exams placing The Totteridge Academy, once again, as one of the top performing Sixth Forms in London.
We were delighted to see students secure places at some of the UK's most prestigious universities, including Oxford, Cambridge and other Russell Group universities.
We look forward to seeing our students progress to the next stage of their education and celebrating their future successes.
GCSE Results 2026:
Our Year 11 students also achieved another exceptional set of GCSE results in 2026.
An impressive 85% of students achieved grade 4 or above in both English and maths, while 75% achieved grade 5 or above in both subjects. At the very highest grades, 43% of students achieved grade 7 or above in both English and maths.
Success extended across the curriculum, with 46% of all GCSE grades awarded at grade 7 or above. Our students achieved an overall Attainment 8 score of 60.6, representing an average grade of approximately 6 across students' best 8 subjects.
For another year we welcome back a record number of our Year 11 students continuing their progress in our exceptional Sixth Form. We are incredibly proud of everything our Year 11 students have achieved and look forward to seeing what they accomplish next.

At TTA, we pride ourselves on finding the balance of being an academically rigorous school in a nurturing and inclusive environment. We base a lot of our philosophy on the book ‘Drive’, by Daniel Pink in our aim to equip students and staff with the tools for internal motivation. We want to foster students’ love of learning and doing the right thing - not for external reward, but because it is the right thing to do. Students walk into their GCSEs and A Levels smiling, having just completed our famous ‘TTA Chant’ and excited to show off their knowledge and skills. In any classroom, the teacher can say “Mistakes” and the students will chant back: “Learn from them.” Students are reminded that we all make mistakes and the important thing is what we learn from these. We have an incredible balance of engrossed classrooms, outstanding results, and a kind, inclusive environment in which students feel supported in all that they do.

Our 2024 GCSE results marked another significant step forward in the achievement of our students. Our 2024 results, as well as our Progress 8 scores of +1.03 in 2022, +0.9 in 2023, (2024 Progress 8 scores will be published in the next two weeks) put us consistently in the top 1-2% od schools nationally and build on our journey of improvement with +0.60 in 2019, +0.41 in 2018 and +0.34 in 2017 (jumping from -0.45 in 2016). We are particularly pleased that this transformation was based on strong performance in the core subjects, such as English and Maths. We are determined to continue this positive trajectory in the years ahead.
