Many students were celebrating today as they received their GCSE results at Christ the King College.
Headteacher, Mr McDermott, said,
“These GCSE results are a testimony to the hard work and resilience of a wonderful group of students who worked enthusiastically right through to the final exam.
“They also demonstrate how the College is on a journey of continuous improvement in spite of Covid and the challenges the past two years have brought.”
Individual highlights
Overall students made very good progress and there were some exceptional performances from individual students.

Outstanding results across the full range of subjects
Christ the King College continues to provide a huge offer of GCSE and BTEC subjects with outstanding results across the full range of subjects.
We have seen really good results and student progress across a range of subjects including Fine Art, Graphics and Media as well as Business Studies, Dance and Computer Science. We are also incredibly proud of further results in Geography, English and the separate Sciences.
Delays for BTEC results
Like all secondary schools, Christ the King’s results come amidst delays to the awarding of some BTECs, which is disappointing for a small number of students and we hope that this matter will be resolved quickly and we are confident that these will also be strong results.
McDermott: There are no barriers to students fulfilling their potential
Mr McDermott added,
“I would like to thank senior staff in the school and our Exams Officer, who have managed changes in arrangements with great professionalism.
“My hope for our students and their families is that they can step away from the media noise of this exam season, and that they can appreciate that the results they have achieved are a demonstration of the potential success ahead for each of them.
“Staff at Christ the King are grateful that we have had the gift of working with our students during their GCSE journey. We look forward to welcoming most of our students back in September to continue their studies with us.
“Christ the King is a community where there are no barriers to students fulfilling their potential.”
