Congratulations to all of our students receiving their A-level results today. We couldn't be more proud of this amazing group of students, who have worked so hard and achieved excellent results.
Sixth Form students achieved a stunning set of grades and now move on to the next chapter of their learning journey. This wonderful group of young adults achieved nearly half of all grades at A*/A and more than three quarters at A* - B grade.
A total of 20 students achieved all A* or A grades and over a third of students achieved an A* in one subject or more.
King’s Head, Mr Jason Slack, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled with this excellent set of results for A levels and other qualifications. This cohort have worked exceptionally hard and thoroughly deserve their success. Our school aim of ‘challenging pupils to aspire, work hard and achieve’ is well represented by this determined and talented group of young people.”
He adds: “They have also demonstrated our holistic approach to education by developing broader skills such as leadership, resilience and independence whilst fully participating in the wider life of the school in terms of music, sports, performing and creative arts. I look forward to hearing of their success in the future. I couldn’t be more proud of them.”
