In 2026, 44% of A-Level grades awarded to Farlington students were A*- A, 73% A*- B; and our Sixth Form celebrated a 100% pass rate.
Particularly impressive is the school’s ‘value added’, at +0.9.

Impressively, 65% of all grades were at least one grade above the expected baseline, with 33% of grades at least two grades above. This reflects the outstanding progress made by these students during their time at Farlington Sixth Form.
