Kingsley School has followed its record-breaking A Level results last week with its best ever GCSE outcomes this week.

This year’s results are significantly above national averages by every measure, with 30% of all entries achieving grade 9 to 7 and 85.2% securing grade 9 to 4.

Core subjects were particularly strong, with 90% achieving grade 9 to 4 in both maths and English and 86% in sciences. Many of the optional subjects achieved above 80% grade 9 to 7.
