Superb 2024 GCSE Results

We are proud to announce another year of superb GCSE results, reflecting the hard work, dedication, and commitment of both our pupils and staff.

This year, in our largest cohort for more than ten years, 151 pupils took 1544 exams, achieving remarkable outcomes. 96% of pupils attained grades 9-4 (A*-C equivalent), with over 64% achieving the top grades of 9-7 (A*-A equivalent). It is a fantastic achievement that all 151 pupils passed English Language, English Literature and Mathematics, achieving at least a Grade 4.

The School has seen significant achievements across a broad range of subjects, reflecting the diverse talents of our pupils. This year’s results include strong performances in English, Maths, Art and History, with a significant number of pupils achieving the highest grades. An outstanding 40% of all grades awarded were at Grade 9 to 8, and 47 pupils achieved Grades 9 to 7 in at least 10 subjects. One of our pupils is amongst only 145 in the country to achieve all 11 grades at Grade 9, and 22 of our pupils achieved 11 grades at 9 to 7.

Deputy Head Academic, Katie Beever expressed immense pride in the pupils’ achievements, stating, “We are incredibly proud of our pupils’ achievements this year. It’s great to see so many who are rightly thrilled with their results. Each grade represents not just academic achievement, but the perseverance and character of our pupils, who have navigated their studies with grace and determination. These results are a testament to their hard work and the unwavering support of their families. Equally, the support of our staff has been invaluable in providing both pastoral and academic guidance for these pupils and I would like to thank them for their ongoing commitment to helping each and every individual.”

Looking ahead, the majority of our pupils will be continuing their education in the Sixth Form at King’s Worcester, where they will be pursuing A-levels and sector leading Elective qualifications, which will help them to stand out and lead them into their future careers.

King’s Worcester continues to foster a supportive and nurturing environment where every pupil is encouraged to reach their full potential. As they celebrate these outstanding results today, they look forward to watching and guiding them as they move up into the Sixth Form for the next chapter of their education.

Keen CCF Cadet and King’s Scholar Samantha C, and Academic Scholar Carys M were over the moon with wonderful results today. With Samantha achieving an impressive 10 Grade 9s and 1 Grade 8 and Carys achieving 10 Grade 9s and 1 Grade 7. Both are looking forward to starting their A levels in King’s Sixth Form.

There were many other success stories too, with a number of pupils achieving an almost perfect set of results, as well as those who surpassed their own expectations. Dedicated King’s Worcester Boat Club Rower, Bentley L (below left) was definitely on cloud nine after he achieved grade 9s across all of his 11 subjects. In addition to Bentley, three other students received an almost clean sweep of top marks these were Samantha C, Sophie J and Carys M.
