STUDENTS at King's School, Worcester were celebrating after receiving impressive A level results.

99.8% of grades were A*-E. 93% were A*-C and 77% were A* - B.

Matthew Armstrong, Headmaster said: “We are absolutely delighted with the results this year and are so very proud of the achievements of all our students. It’s fantastic to see year-on-year improvements, particularly given the challenges presented with the introduction of the new syllabuses this year. There are so many fantastic individual performances contained within these results and I would love to be able to mention them all.

"Sixth Form is a young person’s passport to the next stage of his or her life and the students have delivered results which do themselves and also the school great credit. Their hard work has really paid off and we are thrilled that so many of them will be able to continue to the next stage of their career path, whether this is at university, in a professional apprenticeship or starting out in the workplace.”
