These are just four success stories for Paddington Academy which has yet again seen students achieve highly across the curriculum. Over a third of all entries achieved the top A* to A grades with two thirds achieving A*-C grades. These very strong results mean that students can take up places on university courses of their choice. 45% of students have secured places at Russell Group universities to read subjects such as Medicine, Aeronautical Engineering, Law, Mathematics and Pharmacy.
As well as the academy’s two sets of twins, the top performers include:
- Ali Karim who achieved A*A*A securing a place to study Dentistry at Queen Mary, University of London;
- Ridha Alsaadi who achieved A*AA securing a place to read Medicine at UEA;

- Yara Rommdan who achieved A*A*A* securing a place to read Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London;
- Erijon Musa who achieved A*AA securing a place to read Political Economy at King’s College London.
Collecting his results with his twin sister Leen, Ali Aldahllaki said:
“We are so happy we got the grades we needed and it’s all thanks to the good teachers here at Paddington Academy. Being a twin made it easier as we could study together and ask each other for help. We weren’t in competition with each other but we pushed each other to be the best and thankfully it has worked out!”
Commenting on the results, Peter Jones, Principal at Paddington Academy, said:
“This is another year of exceptional results for Paddington Academy’s Sixth Form and it is a pleasure to see all our students celebrating today. They have each shown a tremendous work ethic and real dedication to their studies. They rightly deserve these strong grades and I am excited for them all as they begin the next stage of their education at some of the country’s top universities. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!”
