Simon Jackson (Head teacher) said: “The continued hard work of the students and the inspirational teaching of our colleagues has been rewarded with these A-level results. They underline the seven-year commitment to study. There are many changes to A-level course content. We are making sure that individually and collectively schools in Cumbria are able to share accurate information with the media and the public who are as keen as we are to celebrate the successes of our students and to congratulate our school staff.”
“As always there are a number of queries over re-marks and grade boundaries and so, once the official DfE September checking exercise has been completed we will issue our headline data. For now, it is essential that we focus on the success of each of our individual students.”
Jamie Suddaby (Head Boy) said: “Keswick School has been like home for seven years. I’ve loved all the subjects, got on really well with the teachers, made great friends and I’ll definitely stay in touch with everyone. It’s one of the best schools in the country in the best place in the country!”
Bethan Savage (Head Girl) said: “Keswick School has shaped me as a person. I’ll always be thankful for that and will definitely come back to visit in the future.”
