With further turbulence and uncertainty across many GCSE subjects, we are so proud of our pupils. A large number of subjects witnessed a significant increase in grades awarded at A\*/A when compared with 2016. The new grading system for Mathematics also proved a challenge; however, the number of highly coveted grade 9 awards was much higher than any previous predictions. In English, we witnessed an impressive set of results, 98% A\* - C and nearly 60% of grades awarded A\*/A. When we look at both our A-level results and GCSE results we can demonstrate real success for our talented pupils. A great effort once again from Team KGS! **12 Passes**: Corcoran, I **11 Passes**: Baxter J, Bucklow M, Gargett W, Gerrity L, Kollard W, Lewthwaite H, Nam R, O’Brien L, O’Neill C, Parkinson F, Thompson G, Townsend E, Xu S **10 Passes**: Acton E, Anthony C, Bamber J, Briggs H, Carmichael C, Carroll E, Carter W, Clifford E, Collins E, Davies S, Dowbiggin W, Dowds E, Ethell L, Fenton S, Gaynor-Smith E, Giles T, Gornall J, Hardman A, Harwood A, Hawkes C, Higham N, Hughes M, Livsey J, McManamon L, Mee-Bishop T, Oddie A, Peet E, Pendergest O, Powell E, Read S, Riley F, Roche S, Rowley L, Secretary A, Shield J, Stewart J, Thompson H, Thomson J, Treaddell T, Turner E, Williamson L **9 Passes**: Barlow G, Bellamy A, Berry T, Brown J, Collins S, Crook S, Crowe O, Doyle C, Fraser L, Hayward C, Hodgson A, Hurst H, Kantharia M, Marsh J, Mayhall J, Mellor-Bates P, Morris J, Peacock C, Powell F, Slater I, Towers D, Watson M, Webster A, Wilkinson C, Wood N, Wright O **8 Passes**: Barson H, Ezeigbo C, Harrison J, Hindmoor E, Huyton M, Kershaw T, Morris H, Thompson L **7 Passes**: Gregory W, Higginbotham R, Partington C ***D H Berry Headmaster*** **Tags:** [2016-2017](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2016-2017) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2017-08-17-a-level-results-2017) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2017-09-08-kgjs-welcome-new-i1s) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
