Exam Results 2026: A Year of Exceptional Achievement

We are incredibly proud of the achievements of our students in 2026. Their results reflect not only their determination and resilience, but also the dedication of our staff and the personalised support that is at the heart of everything we do at CSS.

Our outcomes continue to show strong improvement across key measures with;

• 100% of students achieving at least one accreditation
• 100% securing accreditation in both English and Maths.
• 92% achieved at least one GCSE or Level 1/2 qualification.
• 83% achieved five or more GCSEs or Level 1/2 qualifications, an increase from 72% in 2025.
• English GCSE/Level 1/2 attainment rose to 83%, Maths increased to 78%, and combined English and Maths attainment reached 75%.
• Science outcomes also saw a significant rise, increasing from 65% in 2025 to 89% in 2026.
• Higher-level attainment has also improved, with 56% of students achieving at least one GCSE Grade 4+ or Level 2 qualification, while English Grade 4+ or Level 2 outcomes increased from 4% to 19%. 

These results demonstrate the impact of our ambitious curriculum, inclusive approach and unwavering belief that every young person can succeed. We are delighted to celebrate our students' achievements and look forward to supporting them in the next stage of their education, training or employment journey.

We are incredibly proud of our primary cohort this year. 100% of students were able to access the full KS2 SATs assessments demonstrating significant resilience, engagement and determination.

Outcomes show that students achieved success with 40% reaching the expected standard in Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling, reflecting the impact of our continued focus on literacy and language development. In addition, 20% of pupils achieved the expected standard in both Reading and Mathematics, providing a strong foundation on which to build as they continue their educational journeys.

Most importantly, these results represent more than attainment alone. They demonstrate the progress students have made in confidence, attendance, engagement with learning and readiness to participate in statutory assessments.
