Russell Group Success for the Class of 2026 This year, students have accepted offers from a range of Russell Group universities, including The University of Nottingham, Queen Mary University of London, The University of Southampton, The University of Warwick, The University of Exeter, The University of Liverpool, The University of Birmingham, The University of Leeds, The University of Sheffield, Newcastle University, UCL (University College London), The University of Oxford, The University of Cambridge and Imperial College London. The Russell Group represents 24 leading research-intensive universities across the UK. Membership is associated with world-class research, outstanding teaching, strong links with industry and excellent graduate outcomes, making these institutions a popular choice for students looking to continue their academic journey. The most popular Russell Group destination was the University of Nottingham, with 14 students (5.9%) choosing to continue their studies there. This was followed by Queen Mary University of London (2.9%), The University of Southampton (2.1%) and The University of Warwick (2.1%). These destinations reflect the hard work, determination and ambition of our students, who will be studying a wide range of subjects and taking the next steps towards successful futures in fields including business, healthcare, technology, engineering, law and the sciences. For prospective students considering their next step after GCSEs, these outcomes demonstrate the opportunities available through our sixth form. Whether your goal is a place at a Russell Group university, an apprenticeship or another pathway into higher education, our dedicated staff are committed to helping every student achieve their ambitions. Tomorrow's Leaders is more than our motto. It is reflected in the destinations our students progress to, the aspirations they set for themselves and the success they achieve.
