Record GCSE results at Kingham Hill School!

Kingham Hill School enjoyed record GCSE results this summer, with 92% of pupils gaining at least five grades at A*-C. The school is non-selective academically, but prides itself on the tremendous value-added it achieves with pupils across the ability range. Nowhere was this more evident than with the Wormington brothers, Thomas and Edward. Not only are they identical twins, they achieved identical, and spectacular results. MidYIS (a national measure) predicted them an average of an E grade in every GCSE on arrival at the school. They actually achieved an A*, 2 As, 2 Bs, and 4 Cs each in their 9 subjects. Headmaster Nick Seward said, “I am tremendously proud of them. Not only do they deserve these results for their hard work, they have been outstanding adverts for Kingham Hill across the board, and reflect our emphasis on the whole person. The media focus can often be on pupils with strings of A* grades, but these results show what is possible when pupils of less stellar ability are given the right environment to succeed –well done, boys!”
