UAE A Level Results 2026: Students Celebrate Strong Grades and 100% Pass Rates
The UAE A Level results 2026 have been released, giving thousands of students across the country a chance to celebrate after a difficult and unusual academic year.
Schools in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other parts of the UAE have reported strong performances, with many students achieving top grades and several schools recording 100% pass rates.
This year’s results are particularly notable because students faced major changes to the usual examination process.
Instead of completing their final A-Level examinations in the traditional way, students in affected locations were assessed using work completed during the academic year after the scheduled examinations were cancelled because of the regional security situation.
Strong results reported across UAE schools
A number of British-curriculum schools have reported impressive results, with students achieving high percentages of A* and A grades.
| School | 2026 result |
|---|---|
| Jebel Ali School | 100% overall pass rate |
| Dubai British School Emirates Hills | 100% pass rate |
| Brighton College Al Ain | 100% pass rate |
| Brighton College Dubai | 61% of grades were A* to A |
| Repton Abu Dhabi | 37% of entries were A* to A |
These results highlight the strong performance of students despite the uncertainty that affected their final months of school.
Students celebrate top A-Level grades
Many students across the UAE achieved some of the highest grades available, with several schools reporting that more than half of their A-Level entries received A* or A grades.
The results have also helped students move closer to their next step, as graduates have received university offers from institutions in the UAE, UK, United States and other parts of the world.
For many families, the results are more than just a collection of grades because students had to adapt to an assessment system that was very different from what they had expected at the beginning of the school year.
Why the 2026 A-Level results are unusual?
The assessment process became one of the biggest challenges for this year’s students. Many had spent months preparing for conventional final examinations, only to face changes to the examination system as regional security concerns disrupted normal arrangements.
Students were instead assessed using evidence from their academic work, including work completed during the school year. This placed greater importance on the work students had already completed and the evidence available to demonstrate their academic performance.
What happens after results day?
For students who already have university offers, the next stage will involve completing admission requirements and preparing for their move to higher education. Others may now compare university options, consider different courses or explore opportunities in the UAE and abroad.
The UAE A Level results 2026 therefore mark an important moment for students who have spent years preparing for this stage. Despite the unusual circumstances surrounding their final year, the strong results reported by schools have given many students a positive start as they prepare for university and the next chapter of their lives.
