Results Summary

Senior School (GCSE/IGCSE)

The Department for Education and Skills has now produced its Performance Tables for 2007 and our pupils have, once again, produced results far above the national average, enjoying yet another successful year of results at both GCSE and A level.

Last year, King’s joined many other independent schools throughout the country in deciding that our pupils would study Maths at IGCSE (International GCSE), the world’s most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds.  This decision was made to offer a more rigorous paper to pupils than the less demanding Maths GCSE.  The IGCSE examinations prepare pupils better for AS and A2 level study and are recognised by academic institutions and employers around the world and are preferred to GCSEs by all British universities.  From September 2007, we have also offered Science at IGCSE for similar reasons.

We were delighted with the results of this initiative with our pupils gaining a 92.9% pass rate (grades A*-C).  We also had a 97% pass rate in English Literature and an 97% pass rate in English Language.  Overall, pupils achieved an average of 8.38 passes per pupil.

We have come to expect top grades at A level and this year was no exception with pupils achieving a 98% overall pass rate.  Click here for further information.

Preparatory School (KS2)

For the last four years King’s Preparatory School has topped the Medway School’s Key Stage 2 performance table and, while local and national results for this year are, as yet, unavailable, once again the School looks set to repeat its success.

On the basis of these figures, King’s Preparatory School would again be in the upper quartile of schools throughout England.  Consistently we have out-performed local primary schools and, once again this year, a high proportion of our children achieved level 5. 

This performance is remarkable given the breadth of pupil intake and wide focus of the curriculum at King’s.  It is testimony to the benefits of small class teaching, the dedication and professionalism of the Preparatory School’s specialist staff and the pupils’ hard work.
