Ian Wilmshurst, Headmaster, comments that “These outstanding GCSE results come after excellent A Level and BTEC results last week and sets a very positive tone for our 500th Anniversary year in 2019. The 5th Form pupils worked maturely and were supported and guided by our professional, committed teaching staff and I am delighted that they have produced these record GCSE results. It is an exciting time for King’s with the 500th celebrations, our highest number of pupils on roll since 2002 starting in September and the opening our new Music School, new Sixth Form Centre and new hospitality/catering facility in the Memorial Hall.
The next King’s Bruton Open Morning is on Saturday 22nd September at 9.30am. To book a place, please click here.
