Congratulations to our class of 2021 for their fantastic GCSE and A Level results!
After a year of hybrid learning, with students facing significant challenges as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are immensely proud of our Year 11 and Year 13 students who secured fantastic GCSE and A Level results this summer and are now ready to embark on the next stage of their academic journey, either progessing onto our Sixth Form or to university.
Our senior students’ tenacity, maturity, and resilience in the face of the disruptions to their learning has been admirable, and is reflected in their outstanding results this summer.
GCSE Results
Once again, KPS students scored above the national average for GCSE results, with highlights including:
63% grades 9 - 7
82.5% grades 9 - 6
We saw particularly impressive results in Biology, Computer Science, and Physics, with 100% grades 9-6, as well as in Mathematics (96% grades 9 – 6) and Chemistry (84% grades 9 – 6).
Three students achieved a straight run of grade 9s in 9 or 10 subjects, with 45% achieving grades 9-8 in at least half of their subjects.
A Level Results
In the Sixth Form, our Year 13 leavers secured outstanding grades and top university places this summer.
Highlights from this year's exam results included:
58% A*- A
78% A* - B
90% A* - C
We saw particularly impressive results in Further Maths (75% A*-A), Politics (88% A*-A), History (100% A*-A), and Psychology (67% A*-A).
16 students achieved at least two A* grades, with 11 students achieving A*AA, and three students achieving a full sweep of three or four A* grades.
Headmaster, Peter Middleton, praised this year’s A Level cohort for their resilience and support for each other, and the strong sense of community that has flourished despite periods of enforced separation. He commended parents, teachers, pastoral and support staff for the patience, agility, dedication and perseverance they have shown throughout this extended period of extraordinary challenges.
University Destinations
We are immensely proud of our Year 13 students who have secured impressive university offers from leading institutions in the UK and beyond.
From September, our A Level graduates will be embarking on a wide range of courses at universities including University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, UCL, Imperial, Durham, Warwick, Kings, Exeter, Queen Mary, Bath, York, and Babson College and Boston in the US.
