Exam Results 2023
GCSE and L2 Vocational Results
CONGRATULATIONS to all of our Year 11 students!
We would like to congratulate all our Year 11 students receiving their results today; they have made it through a very challenging few years and have achieved fantastic results. Given the disruptions that the Covid 19 pandemic caused to their school experience since Year 8, their results and the attitudes they have displayed throughout are to be commended. We congratulate them all on the manner in which they have coped in these quite extraordinary times. The resilience the students have shown under such conditions with so much uncertainty is remarkable, and we could not be prouder of them.
As a school, our results are significantly above those in 2019, the last year unaffected by the pandemic, which is further testament to the incredible work of our staff and students.
Headteacher, Jon Hayes, said:
Our students have worked so hard for these exams and have been excellently supported throughout by the teachers and staff at QKS. It is fantastic to see them achieve so much and go on to the next stage in their education or employment with the skills, qualifications and experiences they need to be successful. The best of luck to all of them for the future.
Head of Year 11, Mike Wilson, said:
It’s great to see such wonderful results! This amazing year group have worked so incredibly hard, particularly over the last couple of years, embracing every challenge along the way. We are all so proud with what you have achieved and wish you all the very best with your next steps. A huge well done to you all!

CONGRATULATIONS to all of our Sixth Form students!
We would like to congratulate all our Year 13 students receiving their A level and vocational results today; they have made it through a challenging few years and have achieved outstanding results. They were unable to sit GCSEs in 2021, so this summer’s exams were the first external assessments they have taken. It is a tremendous achievement, especially given the ongoing challenges over the last 2 years of their Sixth Form studies. The resilience the students have shown and the way they have conducted themselves and worked hard under what continues to be extraordinary times is remarkable. We are so proud of them all.
Headteacher Jon Hayes said:
As always, we are incredibly proud of our students and their achievements. Alongside these fantastic exam results, our Year 13 are taking away EPQ qualifications, Gold D of E awards and other experiences that will help them in their future. On behalf of all the staff and governors, I wish them every success as they move on to university, apprenticeships and the next steps in their lives.
Ruth Nelson, Head of Sixth Form said:
I highly commend our students on their achievements, noting the variety of choices the year group has made in terms of their subjects and career options, including top universities and apprenticeship programmes. As a team, we are very proud of our students, and we are so pleased to have been a part of their journey in Sixth Form. They leave with a myriad of qualifications and skills, and we celebrate each student as individuals that have shone for many different reasons alongside their academic success.
