The broad range of academic success reflects a Year 13 cohort of excellent pupils who are genuine all-rounders. With two pupils securing places at Oxford University, a former chorister gaining a place at Leeds Conservatoire, one pupil studying Astrophysics at Birmingham University, an excellent linguist achieving two A* grades to read Chinese and Spanish at Manchester, and another pupil gaining a coveted role on the Automotive Engineering course at Oxford Brookes University, the pupils’ results have opened up a range of diverse pathways to future careers.
The Headmaster, Mr David Morton, commented, “These excellent results are richly deserved by a strong year group of delightful pupils who have worked very hard across their King’s School careers. The diversity of next destinations that they have attained is testament to the school’s ability to cater for each individual, and for the pupils to be inspired to find their passions in life. I am delighted for the pupils, their families and the staff who have worked so hard to support them.”
