Kingston Grammar School, Kingston upon Thames

From the headteacher's welcome: "I take great pride in being Head Master of such a happy and thriving school, and look forward to welcoming you here soon so you can see for yourself what makes Kingston Grammar School so special. Our students’ success starts, but does not end, with their academic achievements."

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for Kingston Grammar School can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.
