Examination Results
Kennet School is proud of its impressive examination results over the years, and 2024 has been another exceptional year. This reflects the school’s philosophy of valuing each and every pupil, giving them the appropriate challenge and support. We believe that these results are a testament to the hard work of the pupils alongside our teaching staff’s dedication and the support of our parents.
A Level / Vocational Results (Key Stage 5)
Performance at Kennet School Sixth Form remains high, with academic and vocational subjects attaining well in comparison to schools nationally. Of note is the hard work that went into achieving more top grades than last year, with an impressive 24% of all grades at A*-A.

GCSE / Vocational Results (Key Stage 4)
