A Levels 2026: Northampton International Academy celebrates successful results as students secure university places
Students at Northampton International Academy are celebrating after securing places at universities across the country following a successful year of post-16 results.
Year 13 students at the Barrack Road school have secured a wide range of destinations, including university courses, further education, apprenticeships and employment.


The results mark a milestone for Northampton International Academy (NIA), with its first NIA6 cohort progressing on to higher education, including places at Russell Group universities.
Students have secured places at universities including Nottingham, Loughborough, Aston, Dundee, Kent, Derby and Birmingham City.
Closer to home, a number will continue their studies at the University of Northampton, taking courses including midwifery, law with criminology, mental health nursing, forensic applications in psychology, and health and social care practice.
Other destinations include Nottingham Trent University, where students will study courses including quantity surveying and commercial management, sport science and management, and biomedical sciences.
Courses secured elsewhere range from electronic and computer engineering at the University of Nottingham to biological chemistry and drug discovery at the University of Dundee.
Students will also study forensic science at the University of Kent, commercial management and quantity surveying at Loughborough University and biomedical science at the University of Derby.
Martin Serrão, executive headteacher at Northampton International Academy, said the results reflected a sustained improvement in outcomes for sixth form students.
He said: “These results reflect a clear and sustained improvement in outcomes for our sixth form students, but what is particularly pleasing is the improvement in Value Added measures across the academy, which tells us how much progress students make during their time with us.
“Seeing our first NIA6 cohort progress to an outstanding range of universities, including Russell Group institutions, is a testament to their hard work and determination.
“We congratulate all our students on their achievements and thank our staff, families and wider community for their support.”
