King's College students widely exceeded the UK national average in A level results with 46.18% A*鈥揂 grades.
"Standards are getting tougher but at King's we are ready and able to enable our students to meet them," said Sir Roger Fry, founder and Chairman of King's Group.
The average pass rate of all King's College Schools has reached 99.28%. A remarkable 20% of the graduates have achieved an A* qualification, while the percentage of exams graded A*鈥揃 have reached an outstanding 69.26%.
The impressive grades obtained by King's College students will allow them to access some of the top universities in the world.
