Duke of Kent School celebrates its first ever Year 11 GCSE results
Congratulations to all our GCSE candidates! All Year 11 pupils have achieved - and indeed exceeded - the grades required to proceed to their chosen schools and colleges for A Level study. In what is being reported as the toughest GCSE cycle ever, and against a national target for schools of 40% of pupils achieving 5 passes at GCSE including English and Mathematics, 100% of Duke of Kent Year 11 pupils exceeded this benchmark.
88% of all Year 11 subject grades were in the A* to C range, with 57% at A* to B and 25% at A* to A. In Mathematics, 43% of results were achieved at A* to A; in English Language 71% of results were A* to A.
These results reflect the hard work of the pupils and their teachers and we warmly congratulate all involved in the process.
Welcome to Duke of Kent School website. We hope that you will find it gives you a useful introduction to what we offer here.
Our aim as a school is to nurture the talents and energy of each pupil in as creative and vibrant a way as possible. The quality we most like to see, from prospective and current pupils, is a spirit of enquiry. It is this spirit that produces a real appetite for learning and development.
Our programme requires a great deal of commitment from pupils and teachers. This commitment grows naturally in the unique atmosphere we have created at this school.
A family school
This is a small, family school, where all pupils can flourish, because we encourage success without fear of failure.
If you like what you see on this website, please come and visit us so that we can give you a fuller picture of what we have to offer. The School is often able to offer bursaries to children of families with RAF connections, where financial need can be demonstrated.
