Kingdown School celebrates strong GCSE results
Kingdown School is celebrating another strong set of results as Year 11 students collected their GCSE and vocational results today.
The school recorded strong results across a wide range of subjects, with headteacher Helen Carpenter praising students for their determination and commitment.
“The joy as results envelopes were opened today reflects years of commitment to their studies, as well as resilience, and we are so proud of all our students today,” said Helen Carpenter.
“Students have come to extra revision sessions in their holidays and on weekends, and in some cases, overcome personal adversity to do their very best.
“We have a number of very high achieving students with all top grades and congratulate them for their dedication; likewise, we are just as delighted for students who gained grades which were not 7-9s, but worked hard and achieved outcomes to get them onto their next pathways.
“I'd like to say thank you to our Year 11 students, and also their parents and our teachers for supporting them so well over the past five years.
“We are also delighted that so many students have achieved what they need to stay on to our exceptional 6th form and look forward to welcoming them back in September.”
Subjects which achieved particularly highly in the national context included: Engineering, French, Spanish, Sport, Chemistry, Biology and Philosophy.
Some of the highest achieving students included:
