Students at Seven Kings High School, the Ilford comprehensive school have today been celebrating a wonderful continuing success story, having again achieved outstanding A-level results this year. Students achieved an average points score per student of 801.1*. This is another excellent set of A-level results for the high achieving school and confirms the school’s position as one of the top schools in Britain for A-level success.
44 students achieved straight ‘A’ grades in 3 or more subjects and 67.3% of all grades were at A/B . The overall pass rate was 98%, with only 8 fails being recorded out of a total of 690 subject entries. There were 225 students in total taking A-levels this year.
Staff and students at the school were obviously delighted with these superb results, including many notable individual performances. Seven Kings has become a centre of excellence for A-level results over the past decade, and these results again demonstrate the outstanding efforts of both students and staff.
*This year’s average points score is based on the tariff for A-levels introduced last year (this includes students’ A2 and any separate AS scores). These results confirm Seven Kings as one of the top performing comprehensive schools in Britain at A-level.

Comment:
New Headteacher at Seven Kings, Tracy Smith said “My colleagues and I are delighted with these outstanding results. They are a testimony to the excellence and dedication of the teaching staff and the determination and hard work of the students. To achieve such consistent levels of success year on year is a reflection of the school’s commitment to excellence for all our students and reflects our view that there is no ceiling on achievement. At a time of national concern over the numbers of students taking Sciences and Mathematics at university, these results are quite remarkable. They demonstrate the depth of talent that our young people have and provide optimism for the future.”
