Results & Leavers’ Destinations
The Academy opened its doors in 2012 with an ambitious vision for how a diverse school in inner London could, with the support and inspiration of one of the world’s leading Universities, inspire all our students to achieve success. From day one, our students and staff have benefited from our close relationship with UCL, and our results underline how that relationship is bearing fruit, with students leaving the Academy to embark upon exciting futures.
The UCL Academy Sixth Form students move on to University, other further study, apprenticeships, or employment. Irrespective of their route, they have the continuous support of the Careers department, tutors, and other members of staff as they navigate this pivotal time in their education.
While 40% of our students are offered places at Russell Group universities on average, many others go to prestigious universities and exciting futures elsewhere.
Again this year, almost half of the cohort achieved A*-B grades, and 71% of students achieved A*-C grades. There were admirable performances in Sociology, Geography, Fine Art and Spanish, with over 90% achieving A*-C grades. Of all A Levels, 12 subjects achieved 100% pass rates.
The highest accomplishments include 18 students who secured at least 2 A*/A grades, with 3 of those achieving all A*/A grades. Overall, UCL Academy students secured an exceptional 55 A*/A grades.
40 of our students secured places at Russell Group universities, including Cambridge. With such a diverse intake and ambition, we are very proud that our students continue to access a wide range of courses at universities across the UK.
Ms Ange Levesque, Assistant Principal Head of Sixth Form, said:
“A Level Results Day continues to be a professional highlight, as I have the opportunity to reflect on both those students who achieve outstanding results through their consistent hard work alongside their peers who have had a tougher road to travel but with no less ambition. I am proud of the resilience demonstrated by all our students and have absolute confidence in the impact they will have during the next phase of their academic journey and professional lives”.
Some of the stand-out individual performances from 2026:
Deena Molokhia is a student whom we are particularly proud of at UCL Academy. As the school approaches its 15th anniversary in 2027, we are now seeing the completion of the education of all the siblings of the same family. Deena Molokhia, the fourth and youngest of the Molokhina clan to complete all their education at UCL Academy, has achieved A*AB in maths, further maths and physics. This reflects her consistently positive attitude, high motivation, and strong commitment throughout the A Level course.
She is now continuing her education at City St George’s, University of London, studying Civil and Infrastructure Engineering.
Deena Molokhia reflected:
Deena spoke with heartfelt enthusiasm about the strong sense of community she experienced with her dedicated teachers and supportive classmates, highlighting how the environment sparked her love for learning and empowered her to pursue her goals at the Academy.
Jon Bajcinca was simply an outstanding all-round student who worked exceptionally hard throughout the last two years of A Levels, absorbing every single piece of advice and taking every opportunity to cross his path. He achieved A grades in Economics, Geography and Government and Politics.
Jon secured a place at King’s College London, where he would have studied Political Economy. Instead, he pursued an Apprenticeship at JP Morgan – an outstanding opportunity by any measure. Jon is most definitely a student who will, in his professional career, lead the way in sustainable economic practice.
Jon reflected:
Jon expressed his heartfelt gratitude to all the teachers who stayed after school to review his work and provide him with additional feedback. He also fondly mentioned his friendship group at UCL Academy, highlighting how they supported and motivated each other to excel in their studies.

Sarah secured a place at the University of Plymouth to study Biomedical Science, reflecting not only her academic performance but also the additional, wide-ranging activities she undertook to prepare for the next steps in her education and professional life. Most notable has been the weekly volunteering at MIND UK – she is one to look out for in the future in the field of mental health awareness.
Sarah reflected:
Sarah thanked the selflessness of teachers, explicitly her Chemistry teacher, for staying behind on many occasions to help elevate specific areas of her understanding. She spoke candidly about the hard-working nature of her peers and the wider Sixth Form community, and how this ultimately motivated her to work harder and harder.
Amelia Alioua is a consistent, resilient, and hardworking individual with a particular strength in interrogating and embedding her knowledge into well-reasoned evaluations across all three of her social sciences. She was awarded A grades in Government and Politics and Economics, and a B in History.

Throughout his A Level studies, Ricardas Knura was an exceptionally curious student with very high aspirations and a strong commitment to his studies. He consistently embraced his studies with unremitting enthusiasm and verve, and sustained an unrelenting desire to achieve mastery across all aspects of his studies.
With an incredible flair for maths, he achieved an A* in Maths and an A in Further Maths. Additionally, he achieved an A* in Physics. He secured a place at the University of Bristol to study Aerospace Engineering.
