The Year 11 students of 2025 enjoyed a truly remarkable set of results. Their willingness to embrace the learning opportunities they were offered and to work with the staff of the school helped them to produce some of the highest exam performances ever seen at Kingsmeadow Community School.

Recent results at Key Stage 4 demonstrated an excellent performance across the whole year group. We are so pleased to see our year 11 students achieving what they need to move on to their chosen next steps in education or employment. We are also delighted that 58 students chose to come back to join our Sixth Form and be part of the school’s largest ever Year 12 cohort.

At Key Stage 5 we were also very proud that every student achieved enough to move on to their next step in life – be that university, high-level apprenticeships or employment. The year group achievement meant that university was an option for every year 13 student, with 88% of them getting into their first choice.

The headlines for the 2024-25 academic year are:

• According to FFT comparisons, Year 11 students’ overall academic progress was in the top 25% of all schools in the country. 
• Over 84% of our students were entered for the highest academic award – the EBacc. This is more than double the national average for secondary schools.
• Music, and Hospitality and Catering results were in the top 5% of schools’ results in the country.
• PE GCSE results were in the top 15% of schools’ results in the country.
• Computer Studies and Engineering GCSE results were in the top 30% of schools’ results in the country.
