Exam Results 2026
We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2026, who have achieved the strongest GCSE results in Bodmin College's history.
The Class of 2026 have demonstrated remarkable ambition and determination, supported by staff, families and our wider Bodmin College community.
Whether students have secured top grades, exceeded personal targets, overcome significant challenges, or achieved qualifications that will unlock their next steps, every achievement matters and every success deserves recognition. These results reflect our belief that success looks different for every young person and our mission of empowering young people to live a life full of choice and boundless opportunities.
A Look at the Key Data
The school’s transformation is particularly clear in English and Maths. Since 2023–24, the proportion of students achieving a strong pass (Grade 5) in both subjects has more than doubled, while 20% more students are achieving at least a Grade 4 in both English and Maths, opening doors to further study, training and employment. English continues to build on its position amongst the top 10 schools nationally for progress last year, with outcomes improving further for the Class of 2026.
Success extends across the curriculum, with exceptional results in Spanish, French and Food and Nutrition, and over 60% of Sports Science students achieving at least a Level 2 Distinction.
Congratulations to every member of the Class of 2026. We are immensely proud of you and excited to see where your journey takes you next!
Note: Key metrics data (e.g. P8, A8) to be posted as soon as possible.
Student Success Stories
Maia
This September, Maia will take an exciting next step in her journey, heading to the prestigious BRIT School in London to study a UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performance and Production Arts, alongside an A-Level in English.
After an extensive application process involving written work, auditions and interviews, Maia has secured a place at one of the UK's most renowned performing arts schools.
Maia achieved an exceptional set of GCSE results, including a Grade 9 in Drama, Grade 9 in English Language, Grade 8 in English Literature, and Grade 8s in both French and Spanish.
Reflecting on her results, Maia said:
"I'm obviously very chuffed with a 9 in Drama. That's definitely what I've set my sights on for the future, so I'm so pleased that all the hard work has paid off."
She continued: "It's such a big step to move to London, but I'm so excited. It feels like a whole new world of opportunity and I feel very privileged that I get to be part of it."
Throughout her time at Bodmin College, Maia has embraced every opportunity to develop her passion for performance, from working with the Royal Shakespeare Company to creating the much-loved Silly School sketch comedy group with friends.
Maia also wanted to thank the staff who supported her throughout her journey:
"My drama teachers have been amazing, and I'd also like to thank the languages department, Miss White and Miss O'Mara. Honestly, all my teachers have been amazing, and I feel so lucky to have had that support."
Congratulations, Maia. We are incredibly proud of your achievements and can't wait to see what the future holds. Good luck in the big city!
