King Edward VII Academy Sixth Form celebrates A-Level Results

Students of King Edward VII Academy Sixth Form have once again secured a superb set of A-Level results with 65% of all grades at A*-C.

The sixth form is delighted to have achieved another year of Level 3 success. This includes a 100% pass rate in the Sport & Physical Activity course with an average grade of Merit, Richard achieving a triple Distinction* and Paulius signing a professional football contract. Students in Health & Social Care did even better, achieving an average grade of Distinction.

These results mean that this is the sixth successive year that once again 100% of students achieved a place at university, an apprenticeship or full-time employment.

KES Sixth Form student Gracie said:

“I’m very happy with my results, I hope to become a nurse eventually and I’m going to be starting soon as a healthcare assistant at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn, with hopes to get on a nursing apprenticeship through the hospital.”

Each year, an exceptional student from King Edward VII Academy is selected for the prestigious Gold Medal Award received from the King in an in-person awards ceremony. King Edward VII Academy is delighted to announce this year’s winner as Alex.

Alex has excelled during his time at King Edward VII Academy, showing great dedication to his studies as well as being a support for his peers, attributes that make him truly deserving of the award from His Majesty. Alex’s academic ability and work ethic are outstanding and has led to him achieving A*A*A*A* grades at A Level. Alex’s passion for computer science and maths is ingrained in his daily life and aspirations for the future. He will continue to follow his passion for these subjects having achieved a place at University College London to study Computer Science.

Alex said:

"I am thrilled with my results and am very grateful for my teachers who made it possible with their support."

Alistair White, Head of Sixth Form said:

“We are extremely proud of our Year 13 students. We all become incredibly invested in every student’s future and we understand first-hand how hard they have worked to get where they are today.

I am delighted for our Royal Gold Medal winner, Alex, who has achieved some truly outstanding results and fulfilled his ambition of studying computer science at University College London.

I am equally pleased that we have once again supported each one of our students in achieving their next step. We wish them all the very best for the future - we can’t wait to see what it holds for them!”

Head students Finlay and Lucy were excited to receive the results they needed to secure places at university and beyond.

Finlay said:

“I am over the moon with my results, they are more than I needed. I feel very appreciative of the teachers that helped towards these results, all went above and beyond.

Opportunities given to me at KES, including being head boy, have allowed me to grow at an important time of my life.”

Lucy said:

“I would like to thank the whole of sixth form for all their help in preparing and supporting me for my A-levels.

The time I spent studying definitely paid off and I feel very prepared for university.”

Everyone at Inspiration Trust is extremely proud of what all its Year 13 students across all its sixth forms have achieved. Both teaching and professional services staff would like to congratulate each and every student and wish them the very best with whatever their future holds.
