GCSE Results 2023

24th August 2023Andrew Baxter

The King Edward VI School is reporting another set of excellent GCSE results today.

I would like to congratulate all Year 11 students and staff on our GCSE results which is testament to Year 11’s positive attitudes, determination and hard work. I am proud of every one of our students who have worked so hard to achieve such fantastic grades. They have been committed to their studies and sat their exams with confidence and determination. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all staff on behalf of our students for all the support they have given them.

This was a great year group with a really positive work ethic. They fully deserve these results and I wish them the very best for the next step in their educational journey.

80% of our students achieved a grade 4 or above in both English and Maths. The majority will be joining their Sixth form in September whilst others will follow other further education courses or apprenticeship opportunities.

A Level Results 2023

17th August 2023Andrew Baxter

The King Edward VI School A Level students have once again excelled themselves.  Year 13 students have achieved excellent A Level and Level 3 vocational results today. 

The school is delighted that students are now moving into higher education at a number of high performing universities including Oxbridge and many Russell Group institutions. Many others have secured quality apprenticeships and employment and we are looking forward to them keeping in touch to help inspire the next generation of students. 

Headteacher, Clare Savage commented: “As a school community we are proud of our students’ efforts and achievements this year. I also want to extend my thanks to all of the teachers, school staff, and parents who have supported our students along the way. Congratulations to all King Edward’s Leavers 2023. We wish all of our students every success in their future endeavours.” 

Leanne Johnston, Head of Post 16 thanked the students for their efforts and congratulated them on their successes. “The relationships established in Sixth Form continue to be the bedrock for success. It has been incredible to see the support, challenge and encouragement the students have given each other over the last two years and a privilege to share in their success and excitement on their results day.”   

“We are delighted at the range of exciting opportunities our students are moving on to this year. The courses and pathways applied for continue to expand and reflect the varied interests and talents of our students. We have students moving on to study a range of subjects from fashion, filmmaking and design to medicine, midwifery and cyber security and everything in between. We are delighted that a number of our students have secured highly competitive degree apprenticeship programmes ranging from furniture design to business management and engineering. Several students are taking gap years to consider their options and it is amazing what they have lined up; farming in New Zealand and ski seasons in Canada. Whatever their next step, we wish all our students the very best for the future and look forward to hearing about their future endeavours.”
