Academic Excellence at Kent College
04 Sep 2015
A Level Examination results for Summer 2015
An ISI inspection earlier this year recognised academic excellence at Kent College, Canterbury. As A level results are published, Kent College students and staff are celebrating the school’s best ever year for UCAS points (the basis for university offers) with an average of over 400 per student: the equivalent of A* A* A. There was also a 100% pass rate at A level, and all students gained places at their universities of choice including Oxbridge.
Particular congratulations for high levels of academic achievement go to the following top performers at A level:
Beth Mason, Stephen Chan, Charlotte Wilson-Holliday, Sally Chiu, Georgy Danilyants, Eason Chen, Abbas Yusuf, Elaine Chen, Katrina Fray, Nikita Kodolov, Amy Old, Lukas Ries, Lydia Watkins, Jeffrey Wong, Nikita Nesterenko, Caroline Wanying, Kelvin Yuen and Eric Chan
These results follow IB outcomes which were again excellent. (They were described by ISI as ‘exceptional compared to world averages.’) A much larger cohort followed the Diploma programme this year and the average points score achieved is equivalent to 4 grade As at A level. The results will enable access to top UK universities, with places and scholarships also being offered at UBC Vancouver and Amsterdam University. 8 students received bilingual Diplomas. Head Girl, Eva Harris scored a perfect 45 points (achieved by only the top 0.25% globally) and will go on to study Medicine at Exeter College, University of Oxford.
Head Master, Dr. David Lamper said,
“I am delighted with the very high levels of academic achievement shown by the students who took examinations this summer. They worked extremely hard whilst at the same time adding an immense amount to the extra curricular, musical, dramatic and sporting life of our community. They have been excellent ambassadors of Kent College and they deserve every success. I am also delighted for my colleagues who have worked so hard in supporting and nurturing the development of all our students. Many congratulations to them all.”
