We are thrilled to share that Kennet School is celebrating its best results at A Level in nearly a decade!

Headteacher, Ms Rigg, commented: “We are absolutely delighted to celebrate our best A Level results in eight years, a reflection of the exceptional dedication and ambition shown by our students and staff. These outcomes are the result of sustained academic rigour, a culture of high expectations and the success of our Academic Kennet Scholars Programme, which continues to inspire intellectual curiosity and a love of learning.
"We’re also thrilled with the outstanding achievements of our T Level students, with a significant number earning distinctions (the equivalent of three A grades at A Level). These results highlight the strength of our technical pathways and our commitment to excellence across all areas of post-16 education.
"Just as vital is our unwavering focus on students’ personal development. We firmly believe that academic and personal success go hand in hand. When students feel supported, valued and confident, they thrive — and today’s results are a powerful testament to that balance of academic excellence and exceptional personal growth.
"To our students leaving Kennet today, we say congratulations! Lean on the strong foundation you have as a learner and confident individual. We look forward to welcoming you back as alumni at future careers events for pupils lower down the school in years to come."
