Year 11 students are today (August 12) celebrating an excellent set of GCSE results at Kings Academy in Cheddar.

Given the current situation, statistical trends have not been included, the focus being on individuals' achievements.

There have been some exceptional individual performances including Laurence Hollyfield achieving 11 grade 9s and one grade 7, Melissa Neill with 10 grade 9s and two grade 8s, and Isabelle Clarke with 10 grade 9s, one grade 8 and one grade 7. Megan Rees achieved nine grade 9s and one grade 8.

Alyn Edmunstone celebrates eight grade 9s and a Level 2 Distinction* within their 12 qualifications. Rose Prod'Homme achieved eight grade 9s with her remaining subjects at grade 8.

Kings students have shown progress from their Key Stage 2 scores demonstrating the impact of hard work and enabling them to access exciting next steps as they continue their journey.

James Kemp, Teagan Waymouth, Matthew Ferris, Holly Cockram, Thomas Buck, Oliver Cockram and Jessica Haines have all made significant progress during their time at Kings, evidencing their commitment with the results they have achieved.

In a challenging year with significant disruption, students have continued to stay positive, proactive and support one another.

Students have lost learning time and restrictions have reduced the opportunity for them to experience events focussed on their future choices.

It is still not too late to apply to Kings Sixth Form - email [email protected] for more information or visit the school website.

Head teacher, David Wiltshire, said: "I am thrilled for the students that their effort and dedication has been rewarded.

"I am deeply proud of the strength they have shown, and it is wonderful to be able to celebrate their successes.

"I would like to thank parents and carers for their continued support throughout their son or daughter's schooling, especially during this last academic year. I look forward to working with students continuing their education here at Kings Sixth.

"I would like to wish all our students the very best of luck with their next steps. I know every one of them will continue to develop and build upon their successes."
