King’s Celebrates Outstanding 2025 Exam Results

Over the summer, our school was alive with excitement as pupils received their GCSE and A level exam results.

Both year groups marked a fantastic year of success; testament to their dedication and determination, as well as the exceptional teaching and pastoral care offered by our staff.

This year, almost half of our GCSE pupils achieved all grades 9-8, our strongest ever performance. Over one third of this year’s cohort received 10 or more top grades of 9-7 and two thirds of grades were 9-7. Our largest number of any grade achieved was a grade 9.

As ever, behind these statistics were a series of remarkable individual stories. Three pupils have achieved all 11 GCSEs at Grade 9; 13 pupils achieved 11 GCSEs at Grades 9-7 – all fantastic achievements by any standards.

We’re delighted that most of the pupils will continue their King’s journey in our Sixth Form, where they will continue to flourish and gain the confidence to embrace what comes next.

Our A level students also achieved a fantastic set of results, with strong performances across the board. Almost all students secured their first-choice university place, with over three quarters going to leading Russell Group universities including Durham University, the University of Exeter, the University of Birmingham and the University of Bristol.

In contrast to other schools and colleges, all King’s students take three A levels, with some completing four. In addition, this year’s Sixth Formers were the first year group to complete KSW Electives Programme, enabling students to select a further, nationally recognised qualification from options including EPQ, Core Maths, Sports Leadership, Gold Arts Award, Sign Language and TEFL and Digital Skills.

Impressive results were also achieved across the Electives with top awards in Sports Leadership, the Gold Arts Award and the Extended Project Qualification – which this year saw 21 students achieving an A* grade.

These qualifications enhance post-18 options, ensuring all students stand out from the crowd.

As well as working towards their GCSEs and A levels, our pupils made significant contributions to the King’s community, embracing the countless opportunities offered to them and developing skills that will stay with them throughout their lives.

Head of Foundation, Ben Charles, said: “The academic results at King’s Worcester are outstanding, and this year is no exception. King’s is built around ambition, with support to take students further, and I am delighted to see that so many pupils have embraced all that King’s has offered them. Congratulations to all the GCSE and A level pupils on their wonderful achievements.”
