Sankhya who received A*s in English Literature and Sociology, and an A grade in History, and has been accepted to the University College London (UCL). “I am so happy! It’s taken a lot of hard work to get here, but Kings’ taught me the value of persistence and never giving up. I’ll be going to UCL to study History, and then intend to do a Law conversion; I look forward to contributing to society in a meaningful way.”

Kings’ School Al Barsha’s Sixth Form offers an impressive choice of 24 A Level subjects as well as a range of Btec courses. This year’s offers were from a range of Universities with many students now beginning their next chapter at UCL, SOAS, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Leeds, loughborough, Exeter and Manchester.

Commenting on the results, Paul Taylor, Secondary Headteacher, Kings’ School Al Barsha, said:

“The way in which our students have stayed focussed on their exams in spite of all that the pandemic has thrown at them has been simply magnificent. No other generation of students has ever had to handle uncertainty and pressure in the way that they have.”

“I would also like to pay testament to the quality of teaching and pastoral care that we have seen at Kings’ School Al Barsha. My colleagues have been totally dedicated to this cohort of students and, like me, will be delighted by their success.”

Rebecca Gray, Principal, Kings’ School Al Barsha added: “ We are now starting to see the Kings’ alumni graduate from universities around the world and begin their own careers. These Kingsonians are now followed by an exceptional group of young people who, I am sure, will have a similar positive impact on society.”

“Irrespective of whether children come to us for the whole journey or join us at a later stage, our curriculum is wholly student-centred and focuses on them as unique individuals. We take pride in being able to meet the needs of every individual and do ‘The Best by Every Child.”
