We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of Kineton’s Year 13 students and congratulate them on the excellent results they have secured this summer. We are immensely proud of both their academic success and the progress they have made during their time at the school.

Of all grades awarded, 20% were at A* to A (or equivalent), while more than 46% were awarded at A* to B. We are also particularly pleased with the achievements of our Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) cohort, our largest to date, with 56% of students attaining grades A* to B.

Ms Bridge, Headteacher, commented: "Congratulations to our Year 13 students on their outstanding achievements. They have been a wonderful year group and thoroughly deserve their success. I would also like to thank our dedicated staff and supportive parents for the important role they have played in helping our students achieve their goals."

We are pleased that all students have secured their chosen next destination, whether that be higher education, an apprenticeship, employment or a gap year. We are especially delighted that students progressing to university have successfully secured places at their preferred institutions.

Our students will embark on a wide range of exciting pathways, including apprenticeships in fields such as teaching, employment opportunities and gap year experiences. Many students will continue their studies at universities across the country, including Liverpool, Cardiff, York, Falmouth and Bristol.

Special congratulations go to Yousif Abdelaal-Wait, who will be joining Balliol College, University of Oxford, to study Engineering.

Congratulations to all members of the Year 13 Class of 2026. We wish them every success in their future endeavours and look forward to hearing about their continued achievements in the years ahead.
