Results & Destinations
An education at Lingfield College perfectly balances life skills, creative expression and academic ambition. Each year, our exceptional results and diverse post-18 destinations reflect our ethos of supporting every student to fulfil their potential — whether their sights are set on a top university, a degree apprenticeship, or a creative or professional pathway.
Our distinctive Sixth Form culture — ambitious, inclusive and nurturing — creates the ideal environment for academic success. In recent years, Lingfield students have achieved outstanding results, with many going on to flourish at some of the UK’s most competitive universities and employers.
In fact, in 2024 we were ranked in the top 2.5% of schools nationally for value-added at A Level. For our students, this means they achieved better results here than they likely would have elsewhere — something we are very proud of.
