Satis Garden was once again filled with smiles as the Class of 2025 opened their A Level results and looked forward to their bright futures ahead. King’s is celebrating its strongest A Level results since 2018 with 83% of grades at A*-C, a performance we are particularly proud of as a non-selective school.
- Across the whole cohort, 12% of all grades were at A*, 25% at A*-A and 83% at A-C.
- Our Grammar Stream* (representing the top 30% of the year group) achieved 36% of grades at A*, 69% at A*-A, 98% at A-B and 100% at A*-C.
An education at King’s is much more than academic achievement and all our pupils are encouraged to be fully involved in the co-curricular opportunities available to them. This rounded education can also support their UCAS applications with qualifications such as the Extended Project Qualification and instrumental music exams contributing to the overall success. This year’s cohort achieved an average UCAS points total equivalent to ABB, while Grammar Stream pupils averaged the equivalent of over three A*s. These results reflect the school’s commitment to academic rigour balanced with a vibrant co-curricular life.
Behind the statistics are exceptional individual achievements. Two pupils secured places at the University of Oxford (Classics) and the University of Cambridge (Modern and Medieval Languages), with others heading to prestigious universities including Imperial College, Durham, St Andrews, Edinburgh and Exeter. Offers ranged from Medicine and Veterinary Science to world-class conservatoires and arts institutions, including the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Bird Conservatoire, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and University of the Arts London. Pathways beyond higher education include a highly competitive apprenticeship with Ernst & Young.
The Principal said: “These results are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our pupils, the expertise of our staff and the unwavering support of our parents. The breadth of destinations reflects the ambition, talent and versatility of the Class of 2025. With a significant increase in the highest grades compared to last year, we are thrilled that 96% of our pupils have secured a destination of their choice and it is inspiring to see them step so confidently into their futures.”
