Students from The Kingsley School are celebrating their exceptional achievements in this year’s GCSEs with 47% of grades awarded at grade 9-7, more than double the national average of 22%. Their impressive outcomes are the result of sustained commitment, resilience and determination throughout their studies.
These results are particularly significant as the proportion of grades awarded 9-7 has grown by over a third from last year. The School has also seen the highest proportion of grades 9-6 since before the pandemic.
In addition to this, 54% of grades awarded exceeded target/expected grades by more than one grade, which shows the outstanding progress made by students at Kingsley.
Headteacher Dr Sarah Howling commented: “Congratulations to our Year 11 students on their GCSE results today. These achievements reflect not only their hard work and perseverance in recent months, but also the resilience and positive spirit they have shown throughout their time at Kingsley, along with the dedication of our staff. With significantly more top grades than in recent years, this is a clear sign of the progress we are making as a school. We are proud to celebrate these successes today – congratulations once again, Year 11.”
Peter Bucknall Academic Deputy Head added: “We are very pleased with this outstanding set of results, which provide a fitting reward for the hard work, commitment, and enthusiasm for learning shown by this cohort. These achievements give them strong foundations for the next stage of their studies, and we look forward to seeing them flourish as they embrace their next challenge.”

- Abi, who achieved nine grade 9s and 2 grade 8s.
- Freya, who achieved six grade 9s, one grade 8, two grade 7s and one grade 6.

“Today, we celebrate our Year 11 pupils across the Foundation as they attain an excellent set of GCSE results.
Their outstanding achievements, across a wide range of subjects, are testament to the unwavering commitment and dedication they have shown throughout their studies.
