King’s Worcester Celebrates Outstanding GCSE and A Level Exam Results
Over the summer, our school was alive with excitement as pupils received their GCSE and A level 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.
Top GCSE Exam Results
This year, almost half of our GCSE pupils achieved 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 Worcester journey in our Sixth Form, where they will continue to flourish and gain the confidence to embrace what comes next.
A level Students Obtain Leading University Places
Our Sixth Form students also achieved a fantastic set of A level results, with strong performances across the board. Almost all students (98.4%) 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.
Between them they will be studying over a 100 different courses ranging from Engineering to English, Medicine to Maths.
In contrast to other schools and colleges, all King’s Worcester students take three A levels, with some completing four. This often provides a greater chance of being accepted into certain degree courses, which may not accept alternative post-16 qualifications.
Our latest incredible results follows on from us achieving a much sought-after ranking in The Sunday Times’ Top 10 Schools in the West Midlands for Academic Results earlier this year, for the fourth consecutive year.
KSW Electives Success
This year’s Sixth Formers were also 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. These qualifications optimise post-18 options, ensuring all students stand out from the crowd.
Impressive results have been 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.
