This summer saw King’s pupils achieve outstanding A Level, GCSE, BTEC and EPQ grades...

After many years of hard work, it was fantastic to see pupils across the 5^th and 6^th Form achieve such success, allowing those at the very top of the School to pursue their various exciting and diverse Higher Education options.

At GCSE, nearly 43% of grades awarded a 9-7(A*/A) grade, with 92% of grades awarded a grade 9-4 (A*-C). This was a very impressive set of results and has allowed pupils to progress into the 6^th Form in a very strong position. Whilst pupils achieved fantastic results across many subjects, we welcomed very strong results in RS, Biology and Physics where over 70% of grades awarded were 9-7 (A*/A), in Geography 60% of grades awarded were 9-7 (A*-A), and in Art, Chemistry, Latin, History and PE where over half the grades awarded were grades 9-7 (A*-A). 13 pupils achieved at least 8 grades 9-7, with Erica W achieving an incredible 11 top grade 9’s.

The A Level, BTEC and EPQ results were very impressive, with 43% of grades awarded being at the A*/A or equivalent level, and 65% of grades A*-B. Many pupils achieved considerable success at A Level, with 5 pupils gaining straight A*/A grades. The BTEC grades were equally impressive, with over 75% of grades awarded Distinction*/ Distinction (A*/A grades). It was brilliant to see a fantastic set of EPQ projects receive the grades they thoroughly deserved, with 54% of pupils achieving A*/ A grades and 100% A*-C. The ability for pupils to study A Levels, BTECs or a combination of both proved to be very successful, with nearly all pupils able to embark on their chosen Higher Education pathway.

The 2024 A Level, GCSE, BTEC and EPQ results showed a return to pre-pandemic levels, with King’s pupils achieving an incredibly strong set of results. I particularly enjoyed seeing pupils across a range of abilities achieve the grades that they both wanted and deserved. Whilst it is only right we highlight those pupils who have achieved the very top grades, I am delighted for all pupils who achieved grades that reflect the hard work they put into their subjects. Once again, the GCSE curriculum has provided strong foundations for the 6^th Form, whilst the exciting curriculum in the 6^th Form that allows for BTECs and A Levels to be taken together has supported pupils incredibly well.

It has been fantastic to see pupils build on their success at GCSE and start the 6^th Form in such an impressive manner, whilst also seeing last year’s U6^th Form embark on an exciting and diverse set of Higher Education options. I wish to congratulate all pupils who achieved great results this summer, and my thanks to all colleagues for the support that they provided.
