Results and Destinations
2026
At Kendrick in 2026, at both A level and GCSE, the proportion of the highest grades is very high, and we are incredibly pleased with the results of our students.
For A-level students, yet again the success rate of university placements is extremely high. The most popular universities and courses that students have gone on to can be found in the Destinations section.
Headline figures:
· At A Level 84% of grades awarded were at grade A*, A or B
· At A Level 37% of grades awarded were at grade A*
· At GCSE 88% of grades awarded were at grade 9, 8 or 7
· At GCSE 73% of grades awarded were at grade 9 or 8
Many thanks to our teachers and staff, trustees and parents whose support and encouragement has contributed so significantly to the results achieved this year.
In 2024, we had a published Progress 8 value added score for GCSE of +1.07 which is significantly high and places the school amongst the top few schools nationally by this measure. There has been no Progress 8 score published for 2025 or 2026 as these cohorts missed out on Key Stage 2 assessments because of the Covid pandemic. Key Stage 2 assessments are the input data for Progress 8.
The school’s 2026 Level 3 value added score for A-level results is expected to be calculated and published in the first few months of 2027.
