Kent College is celebrating another year of excellent GCSE results following this summer’s examinations.
The courses and the grading have changed, the nature of assessments has changed with much less emphasis on coursework – but the personalised approach at the school has ensured that students achieve a high level of success.
The overall pass rate was 100% and 90% of students achieved 5 GCSEs at 4-9 (the equivalent of A*-C). New records for the school included the number of students who achieved 5 good GCSEs including Maths and English and the very high percentage of top grades achieved. These statistics follow on from the excellent results at A-level and IB already announced.
Students who did particularly well include the following top performers: Eleanor Box, Meritxell Barajas Marti, Filippo Cainelli, Antoinette Chastang, Isabelle Cornelius-Merrell, Finlay Gape, Stanley Hsu, Elizabeth Halle-Smith, Alexandre Le Dur, Ailsa Naylor, Dulcie Noble, Ottavio Pagliaro, Hannah Parker, Aimee Plumb, Sam Stevens, Winifred Skillern, Robyn Thompson, Kai Whitfield, Xingguang Zhang, Florence Winter-Taylor.
Executive Head Master Dr David Lamper said: “The pupils have achieved an excellent set of results in spite of the changes to courses and assessments, and so have secured sound foundations for the next stage in their educational career. On top of wonderful A-level and IB results, our students can be very proud of their achievements. Congratulations to them and to all of my colleagues for the hard work which makes excellent results like these possible.”
