Key Stage 5 Examination Results
The progress and outcomes of our cohort continue to be exceptional, putting us in the top 15% of all schools nationally for the last three years. This year, 56% of A Level grades were A*-B, resulting in a 3-year average of 58%. The average grade at A Level was B.
Most pleasingly, our value added figure for A Levels was +0.38 and for BTEC/Vocational courses was +0.11, meaning that students (who are already higher-attaining at the end of Y11) go on to do much better at King Ecgbert School than they would do elsewhere.
61% of BTEC grades were D*-D with the average grade a Distinction, results we are so proud of. An unbelievable 26% (that's over a quarter of our students) achieved all As/Distinctions or above.
16% of students attain AAB in at least 2 facilitating subjects (the facilitating subjects are English Literature, Geography, History, Modern and Classical Languages, Maths and Further Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics).
