Published by Dover College on Wednesday 19th of August 2026
Our Sixth Form students have achieved a 98% overall pass rate, with 89% of results at A*-C or equivalent and almost one in three, 32%, at A*–A standard or equivalent. Across the cohort, pupils performed on average close to half a grade above their baseline expectations.The results have enabled pupils to progress to an exciting and diverse range of next steps. Of those applying to university, 87% have secured a place at their first-choice institution.
Wendy will study Geography at the University of Sheffield, while Porter heads to Queen Mary University of London to study International Relations with Business Management. Cristina will study Fashion Marketing at the University of Manchester, while Cameron is heading to the University of York.
The College’s international outlook is also reflected in this year’s destinations. Maya will study Middle Eastern and European Languages and Cultures at Trinity College Dublin, Max will take up a place to study Econometrics and Operations Research at Maastricht University in the Netherlands and Ivan will study Engineering Technology at KU Leuven in Belgium.
“Results Day gives us an opportunity to celebrate what our pupils have achieved, but no single set of grades can tell the whole story of a young person or their education. I am particularly pleased that, across the year group, pupils achieved positive value added, performing on average close to half a grade above their baseline expectations. That reflects their determination and hard work, alongside the quality of the teaching, encouragement, and individual support they have received.” Phil Tattersall-King, Headmaster.
