Mr Matthew Taylor, Headmaster at King鈥檚 College Madrid added; 鈥淚n this difficult examination season it is wonderful to see once again how well King鈥檚 College pupils have performed. The amazing results of this year are a testament to our pupils work effort and dedication, and the professionalism of King鈥檚 staff. It is particularly significant, that pupils have achieved these amazing results in a year so disrupted by school closures caused by COVID19. Congratulations to our A Level pupils. I wish them every success at university as they take the next step in their education. A great set of results at the end of this challenging 2020 school year.鈥� 

Mr Paul McNally, the school鈥檚 Secondary Career Advisor, commented; 鈥淚n a most difficult year, we are immensely proud of all of our Year 13 leavers in 2020, who have worked very hard and with such enthusiasm 鈥� even during lockdown via their uninterrupted online lessons 鈥� in order to maintain their very high standards in learning and contributions to school life.鈥�

The grade success was repetitive for those students in Year 11 who took their (I)GCSEs this year. An incredible 42% of students awarded A*(9-8), 61% of students were awarded A*-A (9-7) and 99% awarded A*-C (9-4.

One student Jimena A obtained the highest grade of 9 (A* equivalent) in all nine of her subjects. Her father commented; 鈥淔irst of all, I would like to share our happiness with Jimena鈥檚 IGCSEs results. I鈥檇 like to highlight that this would not have been possible without the monitoring, support and accompaniment from King鈥檚 College which Jimena has had throughout the school - but especially during the last months where the COVID19 pandemic has changed everything. Jimena's results fill us with pride, but at the same time create a very important challenge for us to be able to work with her in choosing the best possible university to maximize her full potential.鈥�

Mr Matthew Taylor commented; 鈥淲onderful GCSE results. Our pupils go from strength to strength and this is most impressive in this COVID19 impacted year. Pupils at King鈥檚 have made the most of the opportunity to engage in active online lessons, every lesson, through the school closure period and these great results illustrate how much King鈥檚 pupils have progressed this year. I congratulate all of them on their success, and look forward to welcoming our new year 12 into their IB and A Level programmes in September 2020. Something to really celebrate! Congratulations to all the GCSE pupils at King鈥檚.鈥�

The results themselves are even more impressive considering the turbulent academic year that all schools across the globe faced due to the COVID19 pandemic. Thanks to an unprecedented online, live and continuous e-learning system, coupled with the amazing resilience of students, inspirational education and strong support of their teachers, they have been able to continue with their studies and have been greatly rewarded.

Working hard behind the scenes was the leading premium schools group Inspired Education, of which King鈥檚 College is a member. Back in March, facing the escalating temporary school closures taking place across the globe, the leading education group leveraged its technology and e-learning capabilities and prepared 鈥榲irtual鈥� schools, ready to continue delivering education to more than 45,000 students across its global network of more than 64 educational institutions in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa.
