Examination Results 2022
EXAM RESULTS
A LEVEL RESULTS
In August, our students celebrated outstanding A Level results, with 67% of all grades at A* or A, 88% at A*- B and a 100% pass rate.
In a remarkable achievement, this fine cohort has achieved Kingswood’s best ever outcome, considerably ahead even of the results achieved in 2020 and 2021. We are very proud of our students who have showed characteristic ambition and resilience to achieve such excellent results, despite the disruption they have experienced over the last few years.
Amongst the many high achievers, particularly commendable results were awarded to Hiroki and Alfred with 5 A* grades, and a further thirteen students who achieved 3 or 4 A* grades. We are equally delighted for our BTEC Sport cohort who all achieved Distinction and Distinction* grades in this qualification.
With 88% of all grades at A*-B, across a wide breadth of subjects including the arts and humanities, our students who applied have overwhelmingly gained acceptance at a university of their choice, despite increased competition this year, as well as access to competitive apprenticeships. They now finish their Kingswood education well-equipped with both excellent qualifications and, more importantly, with the skills and personal qualities that enable them to be a powerful force for good in the world.
"I am immensely proud of all that these students have achieved and full of admiration for our dedicated teachers under whose guidance they were so well prepared. I look forward to hearing more about their journeys as they move onto the next stage of their lives; I am confident they will achieve great things and will continue to make a difference to the lives of those they meet. As a cohort, they have been wonderful role models across all areas of school life, and living proof that at Kingswood pupils learn as much outside the classroom as they do within it. I am grateful for all their acts of service and the way they have enriched our community over the recent years.”
GCSE RESULTS
Students celebrated very strong GCSE/IGCSE results this year.
With 56% of all results awarded at grades 9 and 8, and 76% at grades 9-7, students achieved very highly across both GCSE and IGCSE examinations. The picture is an excellent one across the breadth of the curriculum with the Sciences, Humanities and Creative Arts all enjoying stellar results.
Amongst many excellent individual performances, we saw seven pupils securing a full set of grade 9s. In addition, 25 students (nearly a quarter of the year group) achieved straight 8s and 9s, while pupils across the year group can be very proud of their results, which is a testament to their hard work and the support of our staff.
“Our Year 11 pupils have achieved a most excellent set of results. It is no mean feat that the cohort outcome is in line with last year’s best ever results and I could not be prouder of their efforts. I take my hat off to Leyla A, Aoife T, Adam E, Emily H, Hannah K, Isobel M and Jamie P for their exceptional achievement of ten GCSEs at grade 9 and I am immensely proud of all our Year 11, who are now well placed for further success in the Sixth Form. For this multi-talented year group, these qualifications are a further accolade adding to the success they have enjoyed in sport, drama, music and outdoor pursuits. This is a wonderful example of great teaching and great pastoral care working together to enable our young people to be the best versions of themselves in all things, including examinations. I so look forward to watching this cohort develop as leaders and role models in the Sixth Form.”
