Bigger and better GCSE results than ever at King’s

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.”
