Academic Results

Although a Kingswood education is about far more than just learning in the classroom, we pride ourselves on our strong examination performance across the School.

Our most recent results can be found below, and are delighted that following our 2024 A Level results, data released by the Department for Education has shown that Kingswood students achieved a higher value added score in their A-Level exams than any other school in Bath. Read our news story about it here.

A Levels: Kingswood's Largest Ever A Level Cohort Celebrate Wide-Ranging Success

The Class of 2025 are celebrating an excellent set of A Level and BTEC results. With 78% of all A Levels awarded at A*-B grades, 50% of grades at A*-A, nearly one third of students achieving 3A*/A or better and 87.5% of all BTEC candidates achieving a Distinction, the school's largest ever Year 13 cohort have demonstrated the breadth of success possible at Kingswood.

There were incredibly strong results in Further Mathematics (89% of grades A*-B), Computer Science (88% A*-B), History (87.5% A*-B), Biology (87% A*-B), RPE (85.7%) Economics (82% A*-B), Politics (82.4%) and Design Technology (80% A*-B) and a clean sweep of 100% A*-B in Drama, German, Latin, Music and Spanish.

This breadth of success is all the more impressive when considered alongside the contribution these young people have made to the wider life of the school. These students have enjoyed incredible achievements on the sporting field and in sublime drama and musical performances, led their F1 in Schools team to the National Finals, founded the work of the Social Justice Group and medalled at the National Philosothon final. All of which reflects how these talented students have balanced their studies with the development of character and exploring wider passions and interests.

Their next steps are also a testament to their hard work, with students successfully gaining a place at their first or insurance choice of university and with all those in receipt of UCAS offers to Oxbridge, Medical and Veterinary Science and apprenticeship offers securing their places.

Andrew Gordon-Brown, Headmaster of Kingswood, said: “I am delighted that this multi-talented group of young people have achieved so highly in their exam results. These excellent grades round off a Kingswood journey which has seen them leading the school as great role models whilst making the most of their abilities both inside and outside the classroom. As they now move on to their chosen universities, apprenticeships or gap years, their time at Kingswood has prepared them well to flourish in the years ahead. I am incredibly proud of them all and grateful to our dedicated team of teachers who have guided them with such care.”

GCSEs: Kingswood School Sees Record GCSE Grades

An outstanding 78% of all I/GCSE grades awarded to Kingswood pupils are at Levels 9-7 - a record result showing an increase of 15% versus last year. Overall, 24% of grades awarded were Level 9 and over half (51%) were Levels 9-8.

A remarkable 21 students achieved at least nine or more subjects at grade 9-8, while two students secured 11 grade 9s. With an offering of 20 subjects at GCSE, the success across subject areas again demonstrates the breadth of opportunity for Kingswood pupils, with particular note of Biology and Physics at over 95% of grades at 9-7 and Chinese, Geography, Maths, Music and RPE with over 80% of grades at 9-7.

Of course, our pupils’ experience has been about so much more than the classroom; whether treading the boards with starring roles in Legally Blonde the Musical, securing their Silver Duke of Edinburgh Awards, winning the U16 Plate at the Rosslyn Park Rugby 7s Festival or debating their way to a bronze medal at the National Philosothon Final.

Mr Gordon-Brown, Principal of the Kingswood Foundation, said: “I am so proud of this cohort’s incredible set of results, which is both a testament to the great attitude they brought to their studies, and the care and support from our very talented and dedicated teachers. At Kingswood, academic excellence is one important part of our vision of a holistic education that transforms lives. I can’t wait to welcome this group back into our sixth form and watch them grow in mind, body and spirit over the next couple of years.”

We are looking forward to seeing 90% of the year group continue their Sixth Form journey at Kingswood this September and to welcoming over 30 new students. Together they will experience our newly refurbished Sixth Form centre with café and small studies, wide academic offering of 23 subjects and our enriching Advanced Electives Programme, as well as bespoke support for UCAS and work experience plus a myriad of leadership opportunities to help them prepare for their next steps.
