We would like to extend our warmest congratulations to our class of 2020 who achieved outstanding A Level and GCSE results this summer, despite the unique and challenging conditions they were faced with over the last year.
A Levels
Based on their teacher assessments, which take into account students’ hard work, dedication, and focus over the two-year period, KPS' A Level students secured top exam results, many of which significantly exceeded the UK national average, and earned places on highly competitive university courses.
In the Sixth Form, 65% of grades were awarded A or A* grade. The highest performing subject, which saw 100% of students score an A or A* grade, was Chemistry, followed by Maths, Politics and Psychology.
Interim Headmaster, Mr Stephen Mellor, congratulated all students on their achievements; “KPS is proud to have a Sixth Form which provides a wide range of opportunities alongside the achievement of outstanding academic results. I congratulate all our young men and women who have added so much to the life of the school.”

GCSE
KPS students have much to be proud of with impressive results from our first GCSE cohort.
With a small cohort of Year 11 students completing their GCSEs with us in summer 2020, 65% of grades awarded were at Grades 9 - 7 (equivalent to A*- A). When compared with the national average of 27% 9-7 grades at GCSE, this is especially commendable.
Maths and Computer Science, in particular, deserve special mention with 100% of students scoring grades 9 – 6.
“The students should be immensely proud of their achievements as well as their individual and collective work ethic. They continued their studies all the way through the summer term and showed beyond doubt how committed they are to their education. I would like to thank the students for their remarkable resilience and the staff for their unwavering support.” remarked Mr Stephen Mellor.
All of our students deserve the highest praise. We would also like to recognise and congratulate the following students for their superb individual performance:
| Layan |
Achieved grade 9 in six subjects and grade 8 in three subjects |
| Arun |
Achieved grade 9 in seven subjects, grade 8 in one subject, grade 7 in another and grade 6 in their final subject |
| Teagan |
Achieved grade 9 in three subjects, grade 8 in two subjects, grade 7 in a further two subjects and grade 6 in her final two subjects |
| Albi |
