A Level Results Exceed National Expectations – King’s Gloucester
22 Aug 2023
Students at the King’s School in Gloucester have received results which defy national expectations and exceed the School’s 2019 results, continuing the upward trend of academic achievement at King’s.
A Level students with Headmaster, David Morton
Of this year’s results, over 25% were at A*/A and over 50% of all grades were A*-B. There was a 100% pass rate. In BTEC Sport, all students achieved Distinction or starred Distinction in every part of the course, which equates to all A/A* grades at A Level.
The students have worked hard to achieve such positive results which are particularly impressive as these were their first-ever certificated exams.
The Headmaster, Mr David Morton, commented, “Our students have worked tirelessly in an ever-shifting educational landscape to achieve results of which they can be incredibly proud. And whilst it is important to recognise our students’ academic success, we also need to reflect on how these students have developed their broader life skills, not least resilience and independence, as a result of lockdown learning. They should be very proud of all that they have achieved: they leave school as kind, talented, well-rounded citizens who have bright futures ahead of them.”
Next steps for the students include reading Politics and International Relations at Exeter, Geography at Loughborough and Psychology and Education at Warwick University. One pupil has gained a highly competitive IBM internship in New York and one student has just finished filming a lead role in a TV series in Belgium. Students are also joining the Navy, the Police Force, and taking apprenticeships.
