Sixteen pupils from all corners of the globe also received their results this week (August 20th) having studied the one-year IGCSE programme at King’s Ely.

The two-term intensive course sees young people studying in their non-native speaking language, and the average number of subjects taken is six.

King’s Ely is delighted to report another excellent set of IGCSE grades, with an overall pass rate of 84%. More than half of all results were Grade 6 and above, with five subjects achieving a 100% pass rate. Three students achieved Grades 9-6 in all their subjects.

Mr Matthew Norbury, Director for International Students at King’s Ely, said: “These results are testimony to the students’ focused efforts and the incredible support they receive from academic and pastoral staff. These international students arrive in England for the first time ever in September and without the presence of their friends and family go on to successfully sit their IGCSEs in an education system they had never experienced before; every year I remain humbled by and proud of their integrity and achievements.”  

We look forward to seeing the majority of these pupils returning to King's in a couple of weeks time to start their A-Level studies!
