Bigger and better GCSE results than ever at King’s Gloucester
This year’s GCSE results are a great cause for celebration at The King’s School, Gloucester, with more pupils than ever achieving some of the best-ever grades in their exams. Five years ago the school saw an unprecedented demand for 11+ entry and moved to a five-form entry for the first time in its history. Today, those 90 pupils have reached the end of Year 11 with superb GCSE results.
Amongst the headline GCSE figures are: 31% of all entries being awarded grades 9 or 8 (equal to A* grades); 53% being awarded grades, 9,8 or 7 (equal to all A*/A grades); 74% being awarded grades 9-6 (equal to all A* – B grades).
Mr David Morton, Headmaster, commented, “I am so pleased for our Year 11 pupils who are celebrating excellent GCSE exam results today. Behind each pupil’s individual grades lies a story of hard work, resilience and ambition. For our largest-ever year group to have achieved some of our best-ever GCSE results is testament to the hard work of the pupils, and the support and inspiration of the staff.”
There were also excellent performances from a range of talented all-rounders. Amongst those collecting their results were first-class musicians, former Gloucester Cathedral choristers, Birmingham Panthers netballers, Gloucester Rugby Academy members, equestrian riders, high-level cricket and hockey players, and a pupil with a contract at West Bromwich Albion FC.
The Headmaster added, “It requires an incredible level of commitment to train every week at a high level and to also work hard in your academic studies. There are more than a dozen pupils who have achieved excellent GCSE results today whilst also excelling in their chosen field outside the classroom. Special congratulations go to these pupils who typify the strong all-rounders that King’s tends to produce each year.”
Treble-top for twins at King’s!
Three sets of twins received their GCSE results today at King’s Gloucester, with all six pupils attaining top academic levels. Between them, they passed 56 GCSEs, with an amazing 85% of their results at grades 9-7. Pictured are Archie and Charley from Cheltenham, Charlotte and Liv from Ledbury and George and Amy from Stroud.
The King’s School begins a year of celebrations as it reaches the 485th anniversary of its foundation. This year’s excellent GCSE, A Level and BTEC results will help the celebrations to start a little earlier.
