Pupils at King’s Bruton are celebrating record GCSE results.

King’s uses a variety of GCSE exam boards, so there is a combination of letter and number grades this year, but 44.8% of all GCSE grades awarded were A*/A or 9/8/7 which are the best results on record! Pupils received in total 22 of the new top grade 9s and 88% of grades were A*-C, or the number equivalent, which is the best results for five years. There were excellent results within academic departments with Maths achieving 47.4% A*-A, Latin 92.9% A*-A, Biology 63.4% A*-A and Physics 65.9% A*-A respectively, Music 87.5% A*-A, PE and RS 80-% A*-A and Spanish 69.2% A*-A. Individual pupils also produced a series of impressive results with Alex Baxter gaining A*A*A*A*A*A*A*AAA 99, Felix Farrell A*A*A*A*A*AA 998, Mani Kher A*A*A*A*A*A*AAA 98, Emily Longman A*A*A*A*AAAA 77, Finn MacLean A*A*A*A*AAA 988, Theo Morgan A*A*A*A*A*A*AAAA 98, Gabriel Rampton A*A*A*A*A*AAAAAC 98 and Hamish Sanford achieving A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*A*AA 99.

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 500^th Anniversary year in 2019. The 5^th 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 500^th 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 22^nd September at 9.30am. To book a place, please click here.
