Kent College is celebrating another year of excellent GCSE results following this summer’s examinations. The courses and the grading have changed for all subjects, and the nature of assessments has altered with much less emphasis on coursework – but the personalised approach at Kent College has ensured that students achieve a high level of success.

The overall pass rate was 97% and 86% of students achieved 5 GCSEs at 4-9 (the equivalent of A*-C). The number of students who achieved 5 good GCSEs including Maths and English was similarly impressive as was the high percentage of top grades achieved. These statistics follow on from the excellent results at A level and IB already announced.

Students who did particularly well include the following top performers: Sophie Devereux, May Douglas, Lily Eddy, Billy Evans, Kezia Gape, Alicia Hunt, Agata Koralewska, Viola Leung, Erin McLeod, Isabel McMeeking, Grace Morrison, Domonkos Muradin, Sam Newson, Isabella Savin, Wiebke Schuler, Rebecca Setter, Sophie Shrestha, Nathaniel Smith, Emily Waters.

Executive Head, Dr David Lamper said,

“The pupils have achieved an excellent set of results in spite of the changes to courses and assessments, and so have secured sound foundations for the next stage in their educational career. On top of the wonderful A level and IB results, our students can be very proud of their achievements. Congratulations to them and to all of my colleagues for the hard work which makes excellent results like these possible”
