All smiles at Kesteven and Sleaford High School on A level results day

The results marked an exceptional year for the school as a staggering 47.5 per cent of exams were graded A* and A and 78 per cent achieving A* to B grades.

Every single exam sat by the 68 students was passed and 93 per cent achieved grades of at least C. It means the average score achieved by the students exceeded 43 points.

Head of School Josephine Smith said she was delighted to see the students fulfil their potential and begin the next successful chapter in their lives.

“The students have done themselves and the school proud with an exceptional set of results,” she said.

“Thanks to their hard work and support of staff and parents they have not only fulfilled their potential but exceeded our high expectations. The past two years were so tough for them but the team work between students and staff, including during lock down, meant that today is an absolute triumph for them,” said Mrs Smith.

“I have no doubt they will go on to achieve great things.”
