Students at Kingswinford Academy, located on Water Street, are celebrating today after receiving their GCSE results. 

After much hard work studying and preparing, students at Kingswinford Academy, which is part of Windsor Academy Trust, are collecting a set of strong GCSE results as national grading returns to pre-pandemic levels.

In a year where outcomes, nationally, have returned to 2019 levels, attainment and average points scores are in line with previous years - a testament to the hard work of the students and staff at Kingswinford Academy . 

Standout results include, English, where 67% students achieved a strong pass at grade 9 - 5 (national 55.1%); Art, where 96% achieved a grade 9 - 4; and French, where 87% students achieved a grade 9 - 4. 

Kingswinford Academy students are now looking forward to progressing onto their chosen further education institutions. 

While all pupils have done incredibly well, there are some standout individual achievements. These include: 

• Oliver Fisher, who achieved eight grade 9s and one grade 8; 
• Neena Iddrisu who achieved seven grade 9s and two grade 8s; 
• Chantelle Gondo achieved six grade 9s, two grade 8s and one grade 7.
