Notable Increase In A*- A Grades At Christ The King College

The vast majority (70%) of A level students at Christ the King College achieved A*-C grades again this year, maintaining the College’s consistently high standards.

Staff, students, and parents are collectively very happy with the outcomes, which will give the students a firm foundation for the future.

With grading returning to pre-pandemic standards it has been a demanding year for students sitting these assessments nationally.

Despite this challenging landscape, Christ the King College is delighted to report that even higher numbers of students have achieved A* and A
grades than in previous years; an improvement of 6% on last year.

It is particularly impressive that students have secured top grades in academically challenging programmes such as Physics, Maths and Classics, with progress in Physics and Classics in-line with the top 10% of students nationally.

An ongoing commitment to provide an inclusive and comprehensive curriculum for their students and community, Christ the King College has also maintained very high levels of success on Level 3 BTEC qualifications.

Their Distinction + average score on these programmes continues to be above national averages.

Of course one of the most important aspects of the results today is how these grades will enable the students to access higher levels of study.

A total of 87% of university applicants at Christ the King College have secured a place at university with 78% achieving a place at their first choice
university this year.

Headteacher Andrew Montrose said:

"We are immensely proud of every single student. Not only have they worked hard to achieve some amazing results, they have been remarkable role models to our younger children.

"For the two years they’ve been in our Sixth Form, they have made invaluable contributions to the leadership, ethos, and reputation of Christ the King College.

"These young people have consistently demonstrated our Values, and they are a credit to us all."
