Students across Derbyshire are impatiently waiting to find out how they did at their 2026 A-levels exams – with the results day set to take place in just two days (Thursday, August 13).
Their results will decide if they will be able to land a place at their dream university courses and apprenticeships.
While families wait for the big day we have had a look back at the A-levels results last year.
We’ve created a league table ranking Derbyshire state-funded schools based on their average A-level scores in 2025, the latest figures published by the Department of Education.
The data include average grades and average points that students achieved per A-level entry.
The number of points is based on the challenge and size of a qualification, and a maximum of 60 points are available for a grade A* at A level.
We have also had a look at the number of students with an A-level exam entry within each school and their latest Ofsted inspections.
The list below includes eight Derbyshire state-funded schools which achieved the best and the worst results.
This ranking does not include private independent school or special educational needs settings.
17. Aldercar High School, Langley Mill
Aldercar High School at Daltons Close in Langley Mill had the lowest score in Derbyshire. The school achieved an average score of 17.61 points on the A-level exams in 2025. It means the average grade achieved by the school's students was D-. The school had 27 students with an A-level exam entry in 2025. Ofsted inspectors visited the school in April this year. Inspectors made the following findings based on the new framework: Attendance and behaviour, Inclusion and Personal development and wellbeing were rated as meeting 'expected standard' while Achievement, Curriculum and teaching, Leadership and governance and Post 16 provision 'need attention'.
