On 20 August 2026, this release will be updated to include results issued for level 1/2 and level 2 qualifications.
This summer, 1.1 million results were issued in England for level 3 general and vocational and technical performance table qualifications (AS, A Levels, applied generals, and tech levels). For vocational and technical performance table qualifications this only includes results at pass or above.
On 13 August 2026, 48,835 results were issued for AS and 835,950 results were issued for A Levels.
For vocational and technical performance table qualifications, between 1 March and 31 August 2026 a total of 221,095 results at pass or above were issued, including:
- 195,190 results for applied generals (level 3)
- 25,905 results for tech levels (level 3)
This summer, 320,505 students in 2,835 schools and colleges received results for A levels.
This summer, 19,860 students received results for the TQ within T Levels. Ofqual does not regulate or collect data on the industry placement, which is also part of the overall T Level. This is why the number of students receiving results for the TQ within T Levels can differ from overall T Level results.
