News, events and schools' information for families across Bath and West Wiltshire

Pupils, parents and staff are celebrating at Kingswood in Bath following an excellent set of GCSE/IGCSE results achieved by the Year 11 cohort.

The following headline results are testament to the hard work and effort achieved by them all, with 63% of grades at 7 to 9 (equivalent of A/A*), 41% at grades 8 and 9, and four students achieving an incredible set of 10 straight 9s.

Andrew Gordon-Brown, Kingswood Headmaster, commented, “To our brilliant Year 11 cohort, who have shown incredible resilience following the disruption caused by the pandemic at the start of their Senior School career, I say ‘Congratulations!’

“I am very proud of this year group who have today achieved an excellent set of GCSE results. With 63% of all exams graded 9 to 7, they certainly have something to celebrate. They have shown real dedication to their studies and will, I am sure, join me in saying a heartfelt thank you to their teachers who have guided them with such incredible support.

“Those returning to Kingswood for Sixth Form can look forward to being joined by a talented group of new students who have been selected for our popular post-16 programme. The much loved Dixon Sixth Form centre has been completely refurbished over the summer holidays and I am sure that they will enjoy making the most of their individual study and social spaces in this wonderful facility. I look forward to welcoming them all back to school in September.”
