Kensington's exam results are way above the UK national average and confirms our position as one of the, if not 'the', leading British curriculum school in Spain in terms of academic excellence.
Although 2020 has been a most unusual year for our exam candidates it is clear that the core value of mutual support and respect between home and school has, yet again, triumphed and enabled our enthusiastic and conscientious youngsters to achieve their academic goals.
This summer, 65% of students in the Upper Sixth were awarded a grade of A*/A. 81% of students were awarded grades of A*-B, not a single Kensington School student has failed an A Level subject for the past three years. At GCSE, the results are equally impressive. Kensington School students received the highest grading of 8/9 at a percentage of 50%. 100% of Form Five students obtained full pass grades in all subjects.
In a year of national grade inflation our percentage of top grades, A / A*, exceeded the overall English schools´ figure by a new Kensington School record of 38%; some two-thirds of all our students secured these highest grades.
Everyone at Kensington School offers our warmest congratulations to such a wonderful bunch of young people who have such bright futures ahead of them.

These results could only have been achieved by experienced teachers working with relatively small groups of well motivated students who enjoy the splendid support of families who really value education.
