This was a strong year for maths, as the highest ever number of students received A Level maths results today (up 3.7% on 2025) and more A and A* grades were awarded in this subject (up 0.6 ppts).

Education Secretary Lucy Powell said: "Congratulations to everyone getting their results today. You should be really proud of what you’ve achieved and I wish you every success for the future. A big thank you to the teachers and families who have backed you every step of the way.

"The rise in students receiving T-Level results this year is very encouraging, as well as so many students progressing in to higher education. There is no single route to achieving your ambitions.

"That’s why we are opening doors with more high-quality opportunities for young people to fulfil their potential - whether that’s through academic study, technical education or hands-on training for skilled work. Whatever path you choose, today is the start of an exciting future."
