It is the school’s policy that all pupils should be entered for GCSE examinations in the subjects they have studied in Years 10 and 11. The school reserves the right not to enter pupils who, in the professional judgement of their teacher, have either failed to produce work of the requisite quality for GCSE entry, or have not made appropriate progress in that course. In practice, most pupils sit examinations for all their subjects.
Entry for examinations is confirmed with the pupils and their parents/carers. Parents/Carers of pupils who subsequently fail to attend for examination without a medical note are liable to pay the cost of the examination fees.
Pupils are normally entered for GCSE examination at age 16. The results shown are for those pupils who sat their GCSE examinations in the summer of 2010 and conform to national statistics. There were 144 pupils in Year 11.
Kingshill's examination results have consistently been amongst the highest in the county and are well above the national average for all schools. We are particularly noted for our very high "value added".
80% of our pupils obtained 5 or more high grade passes (A* - C) in their GCSE examinations. 63 % of all our pupils obtained 5 or more high grade passes (A* - C) including English and Mathematics. 25% of all entries were at grades A* and A. Achievement was high at all levels of ability.
Virtually all our pupils go on into further education and they have a solid foundation on which to build for future success.
We continue to take pride in the achievements of ALL our pupils, regardless of their ability on intake. We remain confident in being able to develop the talents of our students to the full and to equip them for the demands of an increasingly competitive society.
Further details of our examination results can be obtained on request from the school.
