Strong A level and vocational results for Solihull Sixth Form College
‘Learners have put in a tremendous amount of hard work’
Solihull Sixth Form College is celebrating superb results in 2026 for learners on A level, BTEC and T level courses, with 73.6% of grades at A*-C at A level and 85% of BTEC grades at Distinction or above.
The College is part of Summit Learning Trust and has seen academic standards steadily rising in recent years. More than 1,386 A/A* and Distinction/Distinction* grades have been achieved this year.
Among the many successes this year are students who have earned Oxbridge places. This includes Sarah Yousafzai who has secured a place at the University of Oxford to study Biochemistry. In addition, ex-students Jawariyah Yaqub and Sophie da Silva have got the grades necessary to take up place at the University of Cambridge to read History and Modern & Medieval Languages respectively.
Away from Oxbridge, former Ninestiles an Academy learner Kareena Kaur is celebrating A* grades in A level Business and Law, as well as an A in Economics. Meanwhile, places at the University of Birmingham are beckoning for Christopher Hill and Ben Jackson, after they achieved top grades in their A levels; they will be studying History and Mathematics respectively.
Dr Martin Sullivan, Principal of the College, commented: “I'm so proud of our fantastic young people for their achievements. Learners have put in a tremendous amount of hard work and I am delighted that their efforts have been rewarded. Academic standards have been rising steadily in recent years and teaching staff deserve praise for their diligent work in supporting our learners to achieve these grades. The majority of our students are progressing onto university, and whatever their next challenge - higher education, apprenticeship or employment - we wish them the best of luck for the future.”
Vince Green, Chief Executive Officer of Summit Learning Trust, added: “It is amazing to see young people from our college achieve even stronger results than the brilliant, record outcomes achieved last year. These will give this cohort of Summit learners great life chances now and in future years. Congratulations to them all, and huge thanks to our amazing Summit colleagues for all their hard work in preparing and supporting our young people.”
