King’s School students embrace the Olympic spirit and achieve winning results
In an Olympic year, the A Level students at the King’s School in Gloucester have been inspired to achieve some of the school’s best results and, appropriately, there are very strong results from some of the school’s strongest athletes.
Over 67% of the grades are at A*-B level, with over a third of all grades being A/A* or equivalent. In the increasingly popular BTEC Sport course, all students achieved Distinction or starred Distinction in every part of the course, which equates to a clean sweep of A*/A grades at A Level.
Our high achieving athletes include; Raph (D*D*D* in BTEC Sport), Tom (B,B,C,C), Harry (D,D,D in BTEC Sport) and Leo (D,D,D in BTEC Sport) who all played rugby at Academy level; Patrick (A,A,B), Lucy (A*,A*,A) and Charlie B,B,C) who have all had successful years in cross-country running; Lottie (B,B,C) who has played National League Hockey for Gloucester Hockey Club and James (B,B,C) who has a Porsche Scholarship and has raced at Silverstone and Abu Dhabi whilst studying for his A Levels.
The varied university destinations include Will (A*, A*, A) reading Chinese at Oxford University; Ren (A*, A*, A) reading Linguistics at UCL; Hannah (A,B,B) studying Medicine at Plymouth; Bertie (A,A,B,B) reading Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology at Manchester; and Lucy (A*, A*, A) reading International Relations at Durham.
The Headmaster, Mr David Morton, commented, “I am very pleased indeed with this year’s A Level and BTEC Sport results. King's has always been a school that recognises success beyond academic results alone. However, this year it is excellent to see that positive results have been achieved by the pupils alongside their sport, music and drama activities too. This cohort has such a rich and varied set of interests: it is clear that they will thrive in their next stage of education or work. Additionally, as strong team players with kind natures, we are proud to see them move on to exciting new challenges in work, university or training: I know they will add great value wherever they go next”.
