We congratulate our sixth form leavers on an exceptional set of A Level and IB results, marking a landmark year of academic success for Charterhouse. The outstanding performance of this year's cohort reflects not only academic excellence, but also the intellectual curiosity, resilience, and ambition that have characterised their time at the School.

Among the many outstanding individual achievements within this year's cohort are offers and confirmed places at some of the world's most prestigious universities, including Oxford, Princeton, Cambridge, ESCP, UCLA, IE University, and other leading global institutions. The cohort also includes two pupils who achieved the maximum possible score of 45 points in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, an exceptional accomplishment attained by only a small proportion of candidates worldwide.
We are delighted by these results and by all that lies behind them. They reflect years of sustained effort, intellectual engagement, and a willingness on the part of our pupils to challenge themselves academically. We congratulate them warmly on what they have achieved and thank the teachers and families whose encouragement has been so important along the way.
What is especially gratifying is that this success has been achieved by a year group that has contributed so much to the wider life of the School. They have approached their time at Charterhouse with energy, commitment, and good humour – whether in the classroom, on the sports field, in music, drama, service, or the many quieter ways that help sustain a community. They leave us not only with excellent examination results, but as mature and interesting young people who are well prepared for the opportunities and responsibilities that lie ahead. We wish them every success as they begin the next stage of their journey.

Carthusians of the Class of 2026 will pursue an impressive and varied array of disciplines. From Architecture, Aerospace Engineering, and Design Engineering to Neuroscience, Performing Arts, and Medicine, their choices reflect both academic rigour and professional ambition. Equally, subjects such as Law, Classics, and International Development and Economics underscore the breadth of scholarship and global outlook that define this accomplished cohort.
Whether continuing their studies at globally renowned higher education institutions or embarking on professional pathways through prestigious apprenticeships, Charterhouse pupils leave equipped to thrive in an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving world.
While these examination results are cause for celebration, the legacy of this cohort extends far beyond academic success. They will be remembered for their leadership, creativity, kindness, and contribution to the wider life of the School. Through their achievements in sport, music, drama, entrepreneurship, service, and countless other pursuits, they have left a lasting mark on the Charterhouse community.
We congratulate our sixth form leavers on their remarkable growth and look forward to following their future successes with pride.
