Students in the bailiwick have received their A-Level and Level 3 results.

The Sixth Form Centre in Guernsey achieved a 96% pass rate across A-Level grades, with 63% at A* to C.

Blanchelande College celebrated its 100% A-Level pass rate for the fourth consecutive year since it reopened its sixth form in 2020.

Mr Kieran James, head teacher at the Sixth Form Centre, said the majority of his students had done "extraordinarily well" and were "really pleased".

He added: "We have a lot of students who have secured employment offers already but should they need any support with employment locally or elsewhere then we can refer them to the careers service, we can also contact employers on the Island."

He said results at the college showed 18% were A* or A grade or equivalent and 63% were A* to C grade.

Tilly Hamiliton achieved a merit in the Performing Arts Course at the Guernsey Institute.

She said she was expecting to receive a pass "so very happy with a merit."

Kirstie Gosney opened her results at the Sixth Form Centre.

She said her results were "just really surprising, I was kind of preparing myself to be disappointed so I think, yeah, it's just a really nice surprise and the hard work paid off."

The island's Elizabeth College achieved 78% of grades at A* to C.

Jenny Palmer, head teacher, said she was "really proud" of her students.

"We celebrate the achievements and progress across the ability range and recognise that all the hard work, determination, and commitment have been rewarded by this great set of results," she said.

Alexa Yeoman, head teacher at Blanchelande College, said her students can now progress to the next stage of their future.

"This year's A Level results are a testament to the dedication and perseverance of our students and teachers, as well as the invaluable support of our parents," she said.

Daniele Harford-Fox, headteacher at The Ladies' College, said: "I'm so proud of every student whose A‑level results we're celebrating today."

She said results day in any school brought mixed emotions.

"It's important to note that whilst impressive, the girls are not just their examination performance," she said.

"They are articulate, thoughtful, and authentic young women with a myriad of passions from students who are pursuing Engineering, Dance and International Relations to those going to Oxford and Cambridge."

The College achieved a 100% pass rate with 91% A* to C grade and 41% A* to A grade.

The States of Guernsey said the overall bailiwick A* to E pass rate was 98.3%, with 25.9% of entries receiving an A or A* grade.

This was higher than England's A-Level A* to E pass rate for 2025 which was 97.4% but lower than England's proportion of A*or As which was 28.2%.

Elizabeth Coffey, executive principal of the Secondary School Partnership, said she was "looking forward to hearing about the students' exciting plans for the future."

Deputy Paul Montague, president of the committee for education, sport and culture, said: "After over thirty years of teaching, I know how much hard work, commitment, worry, relief and joy is wrapped up in results day."
