Seb excels with perfect 9s

Seb secures impeccable 9s across the board, embodying the excellence of a King’s Scholar. From sports to class camaraderie, and engaging in a range of activities, from competitions to academic challenges, Seb has cherished every moment.

With a love for rugby and its team spirit, Seb said “we’ve been getting excited about pre-season for weeks – we’re a small squad but everyone really cares”.

“My teachers have been great, especially my form tutor, even Mr Charles (Principal) and Mr Smith (Senior Deputy Head) are really approachable”. Eager to delve into his favourite subjects in the Sixth Form – maths, further maths, physics, computing, or chemistry, Seb ponders diverse career paths, including engineering, computer science, finance, or medicine, keeping his options wide open.

Massimo’s multilingual mastery

Achieving 9s in all his modern languages – French, Italian and Spanish – is a testament to his exceptional linguistic abilities. Despite joining during lockdown, he thrived in King’s vibrant learning environment, particularly in languages where he found teachers to be incredibly friendly and supportive.

Excited about Sixth Form, Massimo looks forward to delving deeper into languages at A Level and relishing the newfound freedom of Sixth Form life. He’s enjoyed taking part in CCF (the Combined Cadet Force) and whilst not having been involved in the music at King’s as yet, he’s contemplating joining the choir this year to further enrich his King’s experience.

Delighted with her 9 in drama, Melissa is destined for the stage and beyond. She has loved performing in shows and musicals at King’s. “After-school rehearsals are a great way to relax at the end of the school day. They also give you a chance to make friends across other year groups”.

A true all-rounder, Melissa has earned King’s awards in music, drama and hockey. Yet it’s the close community that she cherishes the most. “What I love about King’s is that everyone has such close bonds – not only with friends, but also with the teachers as they are always there to help you.”

Boarding brothers thrive at King’s

Having only been at the school for just over a year, Ben and Harry are grateful for the significant improvement they have seen in their grades. “As weekly boarders, having structured Prep in the boarding house with tutors’ support has been really helpful”.

They’ve embraced the King’s experience wholeheartedly, making lots of new friends and enjoying plenty of fun activities with their new boarding family. Sharing a love for sports, hockey has been a highlight for them both. As well as a shared passion for DT, both are looking forward to larger design and technology projects at A Level.

Second home at King’s

Congratulations to Fran on her fabulous results who’s time in boarding helped her studies. “I boarded at King’s throughout my mocks and throughout the GCSEs period and I enjoyed it immensely. The boarding staff and boarders made me feel so welcome and I felt as though I fitted in immediately. Despite initially being anxious about staying away from home for an extended period of time the boarding house quickly became a second home to me and I became part of the boarding family. Being in the school environment helped me with revising for my GCSEs, it allowed me to have a focused mindset which was reinforced by the structure of the boarding house. The boarding staff are always on hand to help with revision as well as support during stressful times. I can’t thank the boarding house enough for all their help, I am genuinely so grateful for them all and I will always keep the friends I made during my boarding period.”
