Plenty to celebrate at Kent College!
As the sun shone on Speech Day, the Headmaster, Dr David Lamper, reflected on
the nature of excellence and a glowing ISI Inspection report, before reporting
rising numbers for both day students and boarders along with successes at national
level in Music, Drama, Sports, Art and Science.
The inspection earlier this year recognised
academic excellence at Kent College, Canterbury.
In the recently published A-level results, Kent
College students and staff were able to celebrate
the school’s best ever year for UCAS points (the
basis for university offers) with an average of over
400 per student: the equivalent of A* A* A. There
was also a 100% pass rate at A-level, and all
students gained places at their universities of
choice including Oxbridge.
These results follow International Baccalaureate
outcomes, which were again excellent (they were
described by ISI as ‘exceptional compared to
world averages’). A much larger cohort followed
the Diploma programme this year and the average
points score achieved is equivalent to four grade
A's at A-level. The results will enable access to
top UK universities, with places and scholarships
also being offered at T$2f
